Neville Goddard on Psalms 132:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 132 in context

Scripture Focus

3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

Psalms 132:3-5

Biblical Context

The psalmist declares he will not rest until he finds an inner dwelling for the LORD; the outer comforts are set aside for the sake of the inner sanctuary.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the vow to refrain from entering the 'tabernacle of my house' is a pristine act of inner discipline. It signals turning from the outer temple of daily life toward the inner sanctuary where the I AM—your unconditioned awareness—dwells. The phrase 'a place for the LORD' becomes a declaration of alignment, the moment you acknowledge that the divine presence resides in consciousness itself. This is not geographic; it is a state of being you cultivate through attention, revision, and feeling as if the inner temple already exists. When you persist in choosing this reality, the outer circumstances may follow, but more crucially your awareness now bears the sacred occupancy: the mighty God of Jacob remains the organizing principle of your life. Holiness is not a distant rule but a practiced posture—a steady devotion to inner sovereignty rather than external approval. Start from your current level of awareness, claim the sanctuary, and let the I AM fill your nerves, breath, and choices with quiet power.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the dwelling place of the LORD,' and feel the inner temple forming around your breath; rest in the presence of the I AM.
