The Way

The Gospel of John is often described as the most mystical of the four, filled with imagery and symbolism that echo the ancient prophecies of Isaiah. But these echoes are more than mere fulfilments of scripture—they represent inner states of consciousness unfolding through imaginative realisation. Drawing from Neville Goddard’s teachings on the Law of Assumption, this comparison highlights key parallels between Isaiah and John not just as textual correspondences, but as stages in the spiritual awakening of the individual. Each passage reveals how divine manifestation begins with an inner shift—a voice, a light, a silent surrender—and culminates in the outward expression of an assumed truth. 1. The Forerunner: “A voice crying in the wilderness” Isaiah 40:3 “A voice cries: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’” John 1:23 “He said, ‘I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,...

The Bible’s most layered passages offer more than historical or religious narratives—they unveil symbolic blueprints for inner transformation. Genesis 1, Matthew 3:16–17, and Song of Solomon 2:14 each employ parallel symbols—spirit, water, voice, dove, and rock—to reveal the divine movement of imagination from formless potential into conscious form. This is the primal movement of “I AM”—the awareness of being—and the stirring of self within the hidden deep. These scriptures are not separate episodes, but poetic echoes: each one sings a verse of the same eternal truth. 1. Genesis 1:1–20 The Foundational Symbol: Spirit over the Formless Deep “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” —Genesis 1:1–2 “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth…” —...

“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 ancient t...

The Song of Solomon is a poetic celebration of love, longing and union—imagery that finds its fulfilment in the life and work of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. When read allegorically, its motifs foreshadow key aspects of Christ’s ministry. Below, we explore eight profound parallels that reveal how the Song’s poetic scenes come alive in the New Testament narrative. 1. The Well of Living Water Song of Songs 4:15 “A garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from Lebanon.” Gospel Fulfilment: At the well of Sychar, Jesus offers the Samaritan woman “living water” that wells up to eternal life (John 4:10–14). The Song’s well imagery—symbolising the soul’s imaginative source—finds its external fulfilment as Jesus pours divine life into every thirsty heart. 2. “Arise, My Love, and Come Away” Song of Songs 2:10 “My beloved speaks and says to me: ‘Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.’” Gospel Fulfilment: Jesus repeatedly calls individuals to leave their old...

Here is a symbolic interpretation of Peter the Rock and Jesus as the Living Water in relation to Moses striking the rock in Exodus 17 , viewed through Neville Goddard’s framework—where the Old Testament outlines the psychological blueprint, and the New Testament fulfils it through awakened spiritual awareness. Exodus 17: The Rock Struck in the Wilderness In Exodus 17 , the Israelites—newly freed from Egypt—wander a barren wilderness. They thirst, not merely for physical water, but for inner assurance, sustenance, and faith. Moses , symbolising awakened yet tested consciousness, strikes the rock , and water flows forth. The rock represents the hardened, externalised world of fact—the fixed beliefs and perceived limits of reality. The water , by contrast, symbolises imagination —fluid, creative, and life-giving, yet here, trapped within form. Moses striking the rock with his rod symbolises the act of focused faith confronting rigid appearances—revealing the latent power of i...
