Biblical Context

The passage instructs Aaron to keep the lampstand lit in the tabernacle from evening to morning, a continuous, holy ordinance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus 24:3-4 invites you to tend the inner lamp of awareness as a continuous, day-and-night discipline. The veil of the testimony is the outer story you tell yourself; beyond it, the tabernacle houses the presence of God, the I AM you truly are. To order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually is to keep your attention fixed on pure awareness, undistracted by doubts or appearances. The statute for ever is the habit of returning to the light, again and again, until your life becomes a living sanctuary where God dwells. In Neville's terms, the lamp is imagination in action: by imagining the light burning, you are imagining your true self as already present. When you assume the state of awakened consciousness, you revise any lack, and feel it real that you are the light.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and visualize a pure lamp before your brow. Repeat, I AM the light that never fades, and hold the feeling of being already illuminated.
