The Way

The Song of Solomon is not a romantic poem—it is assumption in action . It is the symbolic outpouring of a soul so fully possessed by the image of its beloved that it becomes one with it. This is not outer romance, but inner realisation . It is the dramatisation of the soul’s longing and eventual union with its imagined fulfilment—what Neville Goddard would describe as the creative act of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When read alongside the story of the Woman at the Well in John 4 , the Song of Solomon unveils itself as a commentary on spiritual marriage —the union of consciousness with the subconscious , or in Neville’s terms, the impregnation of the subconscious by the conscious assumption. What appears to be a casual conversation between Jesus and a Samaritan woman is, in fact, a mystical courtship, culminating in the recognition of the true Beloved: the ‘I AM’ within. “I Found Him Whom My Soul Loves” In the Song of Solomon 3:1–4, the feminine soul searches restl...

“Then the man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man.’” —Genesis 2:23 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” —Genesis 2:24 The stories of Rebekah and Rachel, each meeting their future husbands at a well, are profound enactments of the spiritual union celebrated throughout the Bible. This sacred joining is the heartbeat of the Song of Solomon—the timeless poetic dance of bride and bridegroom , symbolising the soul’s yearning for and fulfilment in divine union. Wells and Rivers: Sources of Life, Abundance, and Spiritual Encounter The river that goes out to water the garden is called Abundance. It is the source that flows from the two trees. These waters nourish and feed many wells —among them the very wells where Rebekah and Rachel first appear. Such places are steeped in symbolism as sources of life, refreshment, and revelation. In an...

Genesis 16 is often read as a story of impatience, jealousy, and divine intervention. But through Neville Goddard’s framework—where every biblical character and setting symbolises states of consciousness—it becomes a deeply personal parable about what happens when we abandon the inner life of assumption and try to manifest through outer effort instead. This isn’t just the story of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar. It’s the story of any person who, in doubt or desperation, reaches for a shortcut and finds themselves lost—only to discover that even exile becomes sacred when the eye of God is found within. Characters as States of Consciousness Abram symbolises the creative power of imagination , the fathering principle. Sarai , his wife, represents the subconscious mind —receptive and impressionable, but in this case, barren and impatient. Hagar , the Egyptian handmaid, stands for the outer method , a reliance on effort rather than assumption. She is a symbol of manifestation through w...

Genesis 24 is often read simply as the story of Abraham’s servant finding a wife for Isaac. Yet, through Neville Goddard’s profound teachings, this narrative unfolds as a vivid allegory for the inner workings of imagination — the creative power shaping our reality. The chapter reveals how faith, inner assumption, and subconscious confirmation work together in the process of manifestation. Why Not a Canaanite Woman? Understanding Abraham’s Warning Early in Genesis 24, Abraham makes a clear instruction to himself: “You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live; but you shall go to my country and to my kindred and take a wife for my son Isaac.” (Genesis 24:3-4) At first glance, this might seem like a historical or cultural command — a concern for lineage or ethnicity. But from Neville Goddard’s perspective, the Canaanites symbolise limiting states of consciousness or old, unhelpful patterns that resist spiritual awakening. The land of Cana...
