According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a historical account but a symbolic story of your own inner transformation. The characters within its pages aren’t external heroes or ancient figures — they are states of consciousness within you.
Two of the most powerful symbols in this spiritual journey are David and Jesus. David represents the awakening of your imaginative power, iwhile Jesus signifies the full realisation of your divine identity. Together, they trace the arc of your personal awakening — from latent potential to conscious creation.
1. You Are Inherently God (the Father)
At your core, you are pure awareness — the eternal “I AM.” Neville teaches that this fundamental consciousness is God Himself, the source of all creation. This divine presence exists within every individual, waiting to be recognised. Before you become David or Jesus, you are already the Father — the still, silent origin of all that is.
2. David: The Awakening of Imagination in Action
David symbolises a pivotal stage in your spiritual evolution. He represents the moment you begin to consciously wield your imagination — to direct your thoughts and inner visions toward a desired outcome.
David is the one who:
-
Recognises imagination as the key to shaping reality.
-
Faces seemingly insurmountable challenges (like Goliath) with inner assurance and creative conviction.
-
Begins to rule his internal world, asserting dominion over thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
David is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of conscious mastery. His story marks the shift from unconscious creation to deliberate, faith-filled imagining.
3. Jesus: The Full Realisation of Divine Identity
In Neville’s interpretation, Jesus is not merely a historical figure but the embodiment of awakened imagination. He represents the state in which you fully realise and accept that your imagination is God — that you and the Father are one.
To awaken as Jesus is to:
-
Operate from the knowledge that your inner world creates your outer world.
-
Live in a constant state of awareness that your thoughts, feelings, and assumptions shape reality.
-
Embody the truth that the divine creative power is within, and you are its expression.
Jesus is the fulfilment of the potential first glimpsed through David. He is the “Word made flesh” — the imagination consciously expressed in form.
4. You Are All Three: God, David, and Jesus
These roles are not separate identities but phases of consciousness that unfold within you:
-
God (the Father): The still, eternal awareness — the source.
-
David: The awakening use of imagination — courageous, focused, creative.
-
Jesus: The full embodiment of divine power — operating from the knowledge of unity with God.
You are not just one of these; you are all of them in different stages. You begin as unawakened potential, progress into active creation (David), and ultimately realise your true nature (Jesus).
5. The Journey of Inner Empowerment
Your spiritual journey is not about external worship or dogma. It is about awakening to your own power and learning to use it with wisdom and love.
-
You have the divine spark within (God).
-
You have the ability to consciously engage and direct it (David).
-
You have the potential to fully awaken into its truth (Jesus).
The more deliberately you use your imagination, the more you embody the qualities of David — courage, focus, and mastery. And as this deepens, you move closer to the realisation of Jesus — the awareness that your imagination is the Christ within.
In Summary
You are not on an either/or path — you are on a continuum of awakening. David and Jesus are not separate beings but inner archetypes, symbolising your progression from the initial flicker of faith to the full blaze of divine realisation.
You are the dreamer becoming aware. You are the creator remembering your power. You are the “I AM” awakening into form.
