The Way

Revelation 8 has long puzzled readers with its powerful and sometimes unsettling images. Yet, when approached through Neville Goddard’s understanding, and the bible's language of imagination, we see that Revelation is not a prophecy of external disasters, but a symbolic story of the minds realisation — the gradual discovery and rightful use of imagination . The scenery in revelation is a repeat of the creation story , but now the revelation that imagination is the creative power. Even the very word Revelation (meaning unveiling ) points us inward. It is not about the destruction of the world outside but about revealing the hidden creative power — the " I AM " — within each of us. Neville taught that the Bible is not a record of outer events but a guide to inner transformation through imagination. The Opening of the Seventh Seal: The Silence of Assumption "And when the seventh stamp was undone there was quiet in heaven for about half an hour." (Revelation 8:1,...

In Neville Goddard’s teaching, the Bible is not a record of historical events but a psychological blueprint — a symbolic account of the inner workings of consciousness . Every character and incident plays out not in the world, but within you. When read in this light, the story of Abraham , Lot, and Lot’s daughters becomes a striking revelation of how assumptions shape experience — and how the mind divides and re-integrates itself in the process of transformation. Abraham and Lot: A Division Within You Abraham represents the awakened imagination — the self that walks by faith, not by sight. Lot, by contrast, symbolises the outer man — the part of you still tied to appearances, logic, and the five senses. When Abraham and Lot part ways in Genesis 13 , it isn't merely a geographic move — it’s an internal separation. The imaginal self must break from the reactive self if it is to dwell in the unseen. Lot “lifts up his eyes” and chooses the fertile plains of Jordan — a decision gr...

In Neville Goddard's teachings, Michael represents the inner strength of imagination, embodying the "I AM" —the divine creative power within us. The name Michael , meaning "Who is like God?" (I AM!) , underscores the realisation that there is no greater creative force than imagination, the very essence of God’s power working through us. The term angel itself means "messenger," and in this context, Michael, as the divine messenger, is sent to remind us of the creative power of imagination , particularly in moments of doubt and resistance. Michael appears in the Bible to confront and defend states of opposition to the I AM, rising to reaffirm belief in the wish fulfilled , even when external circumstances or inner doubts threaten to derail it. Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia." In this p...

Try and forget the school nativity play here. The story of Jesus’ birth in Matthew 1:18–25, often understood as a literal event, unfolds into a transformative drama when seen through Neville Goddard’s symbolic insight. For Neville, the Bible is not a record of external history but a psychological enactment happening within each of us. In this passage, the virgin conception is not about biology; it is about the birth of awakened imagination within the individual. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way..." (Matthew 1:18) In Neville’s interpretation, Mary symbolises the subconscious mind — that fertile ground where ideas planted by imagination take root and grow into reality. She is found to be “with child by the Holy Spirit,” showing that her pregnancy arises from a psychological shift. This represents the seed of imagination taking root within. The Holy Spirit is the active power of God : the imagination itself. When an idea is deeply felt and accepted as true, it i...

The book of Zechariah offers powerful symbolism, and when viewed through the lens of Neville Goddard’s teachings, it reveals profound insights into the process of spiritual manifestation. This chapter speaks not only of rebuilding a city but of creating and manifesting a higher reality through the power of imagination. The Prophet: Your Inner Guide In Neville Goddard’s teachings, the prophet is not just a figure from the past but represents your own inner awareness. The prophet symbolises your connection to the truth about yourself and the creative power you hold. Zechariah, in this sense, represents your ability to manifest and awaken to your spiritual potential through the power of imagination. The Measuring Line: Expanding Your Consciousness Zechariah 2 presents a man with a measuring line, symbolising how we measure our own potential. Just as Jerusalem’s physical boundaries were meant to expand, so too should your consciousness. The "measuring line" encourages us to...
