Doors and Windows: Neville Goddard’s Interpretation of Symbols

In Neville Goddard’s teachings, symbols from the Bible are much more than mere allegories—they are profound expressions of the power of imagination and the mind's ability to shape reality. Among these symbols, the door and window stand out as powerful metaphors, representing opportunities for change and mental gateways to new states of consciousness. Additionally, the concept of God as wind further deepens our understanding of how the spirit of creation moves through us, guiding us into new realities. Let’s explore how Neville interpreted the door, window, and wind, and how they all connect to manifesting desires.


The Door: A Gateway to New Consciousness

As we discussed in the previous post, Neville Goddard interpreted the door as a gateway to a new state of consciousness. It represents a mental transition—the moment when you decide to move from one mental state to another, from limitation to freedom, from lack to abundance.

When you imagine your desires and assume that your wish is already fulfilled, you are symbolically opening the door to a new reality. By entering through the door of your imagination, you gain access to a world that aligns with your desires. As Neville said:
“Consciousness is the door to the world you experience.”

This door is an invitation to step into a new mental space, but it is also a choice. Every time you choose to imagine your desires as already fulfilled, you step through the door into a reality where those desires exist.


The Window: A Vision of Possibility

While the door symbolizes choice and transition, the window represents a vision of possibility. In Neville’s framework, the window is a mental tool that allows you to see the future you wish to create. It is through the window that you can visualize the fulfillment of your desires.

The window provides a clear view into a world that already exists within you—a world created by your imagination. Just as a window lets light in, your imagination lets new ideas and visions of your desires enter into your consciousness. The window becomes a symbol of clarity—the clearer your vision of what you want, the more effectively you can manifest it into your physical reality.

Neville often spoke about the importance of having a clear vision of the desired outcome. He might say:
“If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.”

The window allows you to peer into the new world you are about to step into. It represents your ability to envision what is coming into your life, aligning your imagination with the future you are creating.


God as the Wind: The Spirit of Creation

Now, let’s connect these symbols to the idea of God as wind. In the Bible, God is often represented as wind or breath, most notably in verses such as John 3:8:
“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.”

This concept is deeply tied to Neville Goddard’s idea of spirit and the creative power of the imagination. Just as the wind blows freely, the spirit of creation moves through us, shaping and directing our reality. The wind is unseen yet powerful, just like the imagination—an invisible force that is capable of transforming the world around us.

In Neville’s teachings, God (or spirit) is always present within us, guiding our thoughts and imagination. The wind symbolizes the freedom of choice—the freedom to create, to imagine, and to shape reality. The wind moves through the door and the window, symbolizing the flow of inspiration and the power of the mind to manifest what is desired.

The Connection: The Door, Window, and Wind in Manifestation

  • The door represents the choice to enter a new state of consciousness, the willingness to transition from one mental state to another. It is the gateway to a new reality.

  • The window symbolizes the vision of possibility, the mental tool through which you see the new world that is coming into being. It provides clarity, enabling you to visualize your desires clearly and powerfully.

  • God as the wind represents the creative spirit that moves through us, guiding us to our desires. The wind is the invisible force that breathes life into our imagination, helping us create and manifest our reality. The wind flows freely through the door and the window, symbolizing the freedom and power inherent in our creative process.

In essence, the door and the window are the mental tools that help us transition into and visualize new realities. The wind is the creative force that empowers us to bring those realities to life. Together, they form a complete cycle of creation—you choose to enter (the door), you envision the possibility (the window), and the wind (the spirit of imagination) flows freely, guiding the manifestation of your desires.


The Power of the Wind: Breathing Life into Your Desires

In Neville’s teachings, imagination is the breath of creation—it is through imagination that the world is shaped. The wind in this context becomes a symbol of the unseen, powerful force that breathes life into your desires. When you step through the door of your imagination, the wind moves through the window of your mind, and the spirit of creation begins to manifest your thoughts into reality.

Neville would encourage us to breathe life into our desires by aligning our inner vision with our imagination, allowing the wind of creative energy to flow through us freely. Through this process, we are in constant communion with the spirit of creation—the same wind that moves the world around us.


Conclusion: Stepping Through the Door, Seeing Through the Window, and Riding the Wind of Creation

In Neville Goddard’s philosophy, the door, window, and wind are all integral symbols that help us understand how to use our imagination and consciousness to shape reality. The door represents the transition into a new mental state, the window symbolizes the clarity and vision of the new reality, and the wind (God’s spirit) is the creative force that breathes life into it.

These symbols teach us that the power to manifest our desires lies within us. By entering the door of imagination, seeing through the window of possibility, and riding the wind of creativity, we can bring our wishes into tangible reality.

The wind is always blowing; the door is always open, and the window is always clear—waiting for you to step through and create the world you desire. The question is: will you take the step through the door and allow the wind of creation to move you toward your dreams?
