The Hebrew name David (דָּוִד) is not just a name, it's a symbol of conscious creation. Spelled Dalet – Vav – Dalet, David’s name holds deep significance. According to the Mathers table of Hebrew letter correspondences, each letter carries symbolic weight. The two Dalets represent two doors or thresholds of consciousness: the current state and the desired state.
Between them stands the Vav — a letter that literally means nail or hook, and serves grammatically as the conjunction and. In other words, Vav is the precise, mechanical force of joining. It is the nail that binds two states into one seamless experience, fusing what is with what is imagined.
Love as the Connector
But David’s name also means Beloved. This title is no small sentiment — it signifies a person who embodies love as the dynamic, binding force of creation. In Neville Goddard’s teachings, love is the feeling of the wish fulfilled: the emotional certainty that your desire is already a reality in imagination.
This love is the Vav in action — it is not passive longing but the mechanical joining of consciousness to its desired outcome. When David is called Beloved, he symbolises the individual who has nailed himself to his fulfilled state and lives as though it were already true.
The word Beloved appears repeatedly in the Song of Solomon, where it conveys this deep union:
"I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine." — Song of Solomon 6:3
It also appears in Paul’s letters, such as:
"Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts..." — Colossians 3:12
In both, beloved represents a state of profound union — a complete joining that is beyond emotional affection, embodying the active principle of love as conscious fusion.
The Two Doors and Genesis 2:24
David’s two Dalets represent the thresholds of the present and the imagined future. The Vav nails them together, creating a unified state of being.
This principle echoes Genesis 2:24:
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
Here, cleaving symbolises the same mechanical joining: two separate beings united into one. The idea of leaving behind the old (father and mother) and becoming one flesh mirrors the conscious movement from the old state to the desired state — joined through love, the Vav principle.
David: The Personification of the New Assumption
David, the Beloved, is more than a historical king. He is the personification of the new young, ideal assumption — the one who personifies the new 'man'. David knows how to nail his awareness to the fulfilled state and live entirely from that conviction. Neville said, “You must dare to assume you are what you want to be and remain faithful to that assumption.” This act of faithful assumption is the Vav: the mechanical, unwavering connection to the wish fulfilled.
Jesus: The Son of David — The Embodiment of the Beloved
In the Gospels, Jesus is often referred to as the Son of David. This title is far more than a genealogical claim; it is a symbolic statement. By calling Jesus the Son of David, the writers affirm that he is the full embodiment of the Beloved — the perfected expression of love as the creative force, and portrayed in the Song of Solomon.
David represents the conscious assumption, the act of joining oneself to the desired state through love (the Vav). Jesus, as his "son," represents this principle fully realised. He is the living demonstration of what it means to be the Beloved: to be entirely one with the Father (your own consciousness) and to embody the new state so completely that it becomes flesh and dwells among us.
Thus, Jesus being the Son of David symbolises that he is not just loved but is the personification of Love itself — the perfect, unwavering assumption in human form. In Neville’s terms, Jesus is the complete realisation of the Law of Assumption, the ultimate proof that imagining creates reality when joined in love and held faithfully.
The Crucifixion: Fixing the Assumption
This same principle is deeply embedded in the symbolism of the crucifixion. According to Neville, the crucifixion is not about physical suffering but about the fixing of an idea in imagination. It is the ultimate act of nailing your assumption — your chosen identity — into consciousness so firmly that it lives and breathes as reality.
Just as Jesus is nailed to the cross and “dies” to the old self, you must die to your old state and fix yourself to the new assumption. The cross symbolises this point of union, where your human limitation is overcome by conscious identification with your desired state. It is through this symbolic crucifixion that resurrection — the manifestation — inevitably follows.
Conclusion
David’s name, with its two Dalets and the central Vav, perfectly illustrates Neville Goddard’s core teaching: that imagination creates reality, and love is the force that binds the imagined and the experienced into one.
When you stand between these two doors — your current state and your desired state — it is the Vav, love as mechanical union, that fuses them. David shows us that to be beloved is to live as if the desire is already fulfilled, moving from division to oneness, from longing to being.
The crucifixion symbolises this same principle in its most powerful form: the fixing of consciousness to a new assumption, beyond wavering or doubt. To be beloved is to embody this love as unwavering commitment, to stand nailed to your chosen reality until it blossoms into your world.
Jesus, as the Son of David, is the ultimate Beloved: the living embodiment of this creative love, the perfect expression of the law of assumption in action.
The Bible and the Hebrew Alphabet
Many do not realise that the Bible is not a historical or moral text but a carefully woven symbolic structure based on the Hebrew alphabet. Each letter is a universal, pictorial symbol, a spiritual tool, and a psychological stage. The Mathers table of correspondences preserves this ancient understanding, showing that each letter — like Dalet and Vav — carries a specific, mechanical meaning. To read the Bible without this key is to miss its true psychological and creative instructions, which are ultimately about the transformation of consciousness.
