In Neville Goddard's teachings, Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron, represents the subconscious mind's resistance to change and transformation. Her story offers profound insight into how the subconscious can rebel against the guidance of the conscious mind, delaying the process of manifestation.
Miriam's Challenge to Moses (Numbers 12:1-10)
In Numbers 12, Miriam and Aaron oppose Moses because of his marriage to a Cushite woman. This act of rebellion symbolises the subconscious mind’s resistance to new ideas and directions. Just as Miriam challenges Moses’ authority, the subconscious resists the creative power of the conscious mind, clinging to old beliefs and patterns.
The Consequences of Rebellion
Neville often teaches that when the subconscious resists, it leads to stagnation. Miriam’s punishment—leprosy—symbolises the isolation that occurs when the subconscious mind is out of alignment with the conscious mind. Resistance results in a lack of manifestation and a disconnect between imagination (the conscious mind) and reality (the subconscious).
Restoration: The Power of Alignment
After Miriam’s punishment, Moses intercedes, and she is healed. This represents the process of restoring alignment between the conscious and subconscious minds. When the subconscious releases its resistance, it begins to cooperate with the conscious mind’s imagination, allowing manifestation to occur.
Miriam’s Evolution into Mary Magdalene
As the Bible unfolds, Miriam’s story finds its spiritual evolution in the figure of Mary Magdalene in the New Testament. While Miriam represents the rebellious subconscious, Mary Magdalene embodies the subconscious mind fully aligned with the conscious mind. Where Miriam resists transformation, Mary Magdalene’s role as the faithful follower of Jesus illustrates a subconscious mind that is receptive to the power of imagination and ready for spiritual awakening. The shift from Miriam to Mary Magdalene marks a profound transformation from rebellion to harmony between the conscious and subconscious, illustrating the journey of alignment that is essential for manifestation.
Conclusion: Aligning Conscious and Subconscious Minds
Miriam's journey teaches us the power of overcoming resistance. The story shows that when the subconscious mind aligns with the conscious mind, transformation and manifestation can occur. The process of healing the subconscious and bringing it into harmony with the imagination is key to unlocking the full potential of our creative power.
