The Way

In 1 Samuel 10:21 , when Saul is "not found" among the tribe of Benjamin, it offers a profound lesson on the importance of childlike innocence in the process of manifestation, as understood through Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption . Benjamin, whose name means "son of the right hand" or "son of my old age," symbolises innocence, purity, and childlike qualities in consciousness. The fact that Saul is not found in Benjamin suggests a disconnect from these essential traits. Saul, in this context, represents the old man or the ego—the part of us that is reluctant to embrace the innocence, trust, and simplicity required for effective manifestation. According to Neville, to manifest successfully through the Law of Assumption , one must return to a childlike state of mind. This means assuming the desired outcome with full faith, innocence, and without resistance or doubt. Just like a child who naturally believes in the unseen, the mind must trust its creativ...

The story of Joseph and Benjamin in Genesis, often told through drama and intrigue, unfolds as a profound allegory for the creative power within us. When interpreted through Neville Goddard’s framework of imagination and the Law of Assumption, every detail—from dreams and betrayals to cups and garments—reveals the mechanics of manifestation. Joseph and Benjamin: Sons of Rachel, Children of Promise Joseph and Benjamin were born to Rachel, Jacob’s beloved wife. In symbolic terms, Rachel represents the soul’s deepest desire: the cradle of true creation. Her struggle with barrenness (Genesis 30:1–2) mirrors the soul’s initial resistance to manifesting its desires. The births of Joseph (Genesis 30:22–24) and Benjamin (Genesis 35:16–18) symbolise the breakthrough of imagination into reality. Joseph : Born first, he embodies the awakened imagination—the visionary power that plants assumptions of the future. His dreams (Genesis 37:5–11), where his brothers and even his parents bow to him,...

The story of Benjamin in Genesis is often overshadowed by the grandeur of Joseph’s rise and the drama of the brothers’ reunion. Yet, when seen symbolically, Benjamin emerges as a pivotal figure: the untainted imagination, the inner state that has not betrayed itself, and through which the final act of transformation becomes possible. Benjamin and Joseph: Sons of Rachel, Children of Promise Joseph and Benjamin are the sons of Rachel, Jacob’s beloved wife. In the symbolic reading, Rachel represents the soul’s deepest desires, the place where true creation begins. Her struggle with infertility (before finally giving birth to Joseph and Benjamin) mirrors the soul’s initial struggle to manifest its desires. Rachel’s inability to conceive until Joseph and Benjamin reflect the blocking of the creative flow, and once they are born, they symbolise the birth of the fulfilled desire. Joseph, the firstborn of Rachel, represents the imagination as a creative power, the dreamer who is able to envis...
