The Priesthood of Aaron and the Prophecy of Moses: Understanding Manifestation in Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption

In Neville Goddard’s interpretation of the Bible, every character and event represents profound principles of consciousness and manifestation. Among these, Aaron and Moses are not historical figures but symbolic aspects of your own mind—your imagination and your spoken expression working together to create your reality.

In this post, we’ll explore Aaron’s symbolic role as the voice of manifestation, the high priest of consciousness, and the vital link between your inner world and outer experience. We’ll also examine Moses as the inner creative force, showing how both represent essential parts of your creative process according to Neville’s teachings.


Aaron: The Voice of Manifestation

Aaron is the faculty of speech and expression. While Moses symbolises your imagination—the inner creative power, Aaron is the outward voice that brings your imaginal creations into the world.

Neville teaches that your words are not just communication tools but creative instruments. Aaron reminds us that when your spoken words align with the desires formed in your imagination, they become the bridge to manifesting your dreams in reality.

Proverbs 18:21
“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

This verse highlights how words carry the power to create or destroy. Your affirmations and declarations, when aligned with your inner vision, work just like Aaron’s voice—bringing your desires into existence.


Moses and Aaron: Inner Imagination and Outer Expression

Moses represents the inner voice of imagination, the source of all creative power within you. Aaron represents the outer voice, the expression of those imaginal ideas.

Exodus 4:15-16
“You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth... He shall speak for you to the people; and he shall be your mouth.”

Here, Neville shows the relationship between imagination and speech—Moses (imagination) communicates through Aaron (speech), symbolising how your thoughts and feelings must be spoken to manifest your desires.


Aaron’s Sacred Garments: Preparing Your Mind for Creation

Aaron’s priestly garments symbolise the qualities you must “wear” to manifest successfully—faith, purity, and divine purpose.

Exodus 28:2
“You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.”

In Neville’s terms, these garments represent the mental attitudes and beliefs you adorn yourself with. Faith, positive expectation, and alignment with your creative imagination clothe your mind and empower your manifestation.


Aaron’s Intercession: The Power of Prayer and Faith

When Aaron stood between the living and the dead to stop the plague (Numbers 16), Neville interprets this as the power of imagination and faith to intervene in negative circumstances.

Your inner vision, expressed through prayer, affirmation, and faith, can transform situations—just as Aaron’s intercession halted the plague.


The Golden Calf: A Warning Against Misplaced Faith

In Exodus 32, Aaron yields to the people’s demand for the golden calf, a symbol of misplaced faith in external idols.

Neville teaches this is a caution: don’t place your trust in external things or doubts but keep your faith firmly in the inner creative power of imagination.


Consecration and Death: Renewing Your Creative Mind

Aaron’s consecration as high priest is your dedication to divine purpose, and his death symbolises the letting go of old beliefs to embrace new creative states.

Neville encourages continual renewal of your mindset to stay aligned with your desires and creative power.


The Budding Rod: Faith Bringing Forth Manifestation

Aaron’s rod that buds and blossoms (Numbers 17) symbolises the creative power of faith. When belief is aligned with imaginative faith, your desires begin to manifest tangibly, just as the rod bore fruit.

Mark 11:24
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”


The Meaning of Aaron’s Name: Elevation and Light

Aaron’s Hebrew name, Aharon, means "high mountain," "exalted," or "light-bringer." This reflects Neville’s teaching that manifestation requires:

  • Elevating your consciousness above limiting beliefs

  • Becoming a light-bringer by illuminating your path through imagination

Matthew 17:20
“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.”

John 8:12
“I am the light of the world... whoever follows me will have the light of life.”

Your imagination is this inner light, guiding your creative journey.


Aaron’s Budding Rod and the Tree of Life: Manifestation Through Imagination

Aaron’s budding rod and the Tree of Life (Genesis 2:9) evoke the trees of the garden of Eden

They remind you that when your thoughts and beliefs resonate with imaginative principle, your desires bear fruit.
