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  we are trying to leave behind , or the ego—the part of us that is reluctant to embrace the innocence, trust, and simplicity required for taking part in the law of Assumption . 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 believ...

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,...

Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, appears at first as a quiet, almost passive figure in the biblical narrative. Yet, when seen through Neville Goddard’s spiritual interpretation, Benjamin symbolises the emergence in our inner transformation: the pure, untouched self that receives and expresses imagination. Rachel calls him Ben-Oni , “son of my sorrow,” during her final breath, but Jacob renames him Benjamin , “son of the right hand.” This duality encapsulates the journey from sorrow (struggle, doubt, separation) to strength and creative power (alignment, favour, fulfilment). From Joseph to Benjamin: The Continuation of the Inner Journey Joseph , Benjamin’s full brother, symbolises the imaginative mind’s initial creative power. Joseph dreams, envisions, and holds the pattern of the desired future even amidst betrayal and hardship. But Joseph’s story is not complete without Benjamin — the final vessel through which the full vision must be received and manifested. Where Jos...
