“Spiritual Truth” and Other Things We Say When We Don’t Know What We’re Talking About

There are few phrases thrown around in the spiritual space with as much vague authority as “spiritual truth.” Say it with a straight face and a distant gaze and you’ll sound like you know things. Deep things. Cosmic things. Probably about Lemuria. Or chakras. Or where to put your selenite.

But what is a “spiritual truth,” really? And did Neville Goddard ever use the term while swaying in a kaftan and whispering, “You just have to trust the divine timing of your quantum leap”?

(He did not. He wore suits. He smoked. He spoke in that wonderful 1940s Transatlantic accent that makes everything sound like it's being announced over a wireless.)


So... What Is a Spiritual Truth According to Neville?

Let’s clear the incense: Neville wasn’t throwing around the term like it was Himalayan salt. For him, a spiritual truth wasn’t something you found in a dreamcatcher or written on a driftwood sign at a yoga retreat. It was simple. Sharp. Unsentimental.

Your imagination creates reality. That’s the spiritual truth.

No fluff. No chanting. No need to realign your crystals under a blood moon.

Neville’s so-called “spiritual truths” were statements about consciousness and identity:

  • God is I AM.

  • You are what you believe yourself to be.

  • Your inner conversations become your outer world.

  • The Bible is a psychological drama, not a religious history lesson.

That’s it. No tarot decks were harmed in the making of these revelations.


When People Say “Spiritual Truth” But Mean “Vague Vibe”

Let’s be honest: sometimes “spiritual truth” is code for “I saw this on Instagram and it felt vibey.”

You’ve heard it:

  • “It’s my spiritual truth that I only answer texts during Mercury retrograde.”

  • “Spiritual truth: avocado is a portal to the 5D.”

  • “That’s just my truth.”
    (That one’s a favourite of anyone who doesn’t want to be disagreed with.)

But Neville wasn’t concerned with “my truth” or “your truth.” He was after The Truth—and not in a preachy way, but in a test-it-for-yourself way. If imagining a new state changes your experience, then boom: you’ve found a spiritual truth. And you didn’t even need to decode your birth chart.


How to Tell If It's a Neville-Approved Spiritual Truth

Here’s a quick test:

  • Does it empower you as the operant power?

  • Does it point to imagination as God in action?

  • Can it be lived, tested, and proven—not just posted on Pinterest?

If yes: Congratulations, you’ve got yourself a Neville-level spiritual truth. If not: It might just be a very fancy opinion in a silk wrapper.


Final Thoughts (aka: My Truth, But Actually Neville’s)

Neville didn’t sprinkle his lectures with spiritual buzzwords. He gave you the key and told you to turn it:

“Dare to assume you are what you want to be, and you will become it.”

That’s the real deal. No need to sage your hallway or bathe in moonlight—unless, of course, that makes you feel powerful. In which case, knock yourself out. Just don’t forget the real spiritual truth:

You are God, imagining. That’s it. That’s the post.
