The Way

The Beatitudes, spoken by Jesus at the opening of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-12), are often read as gentle moral encouragements or promises of reward for good behaviour. But Neville Goddard approached them as psychological signposts —each one marking a shift in the state of consciousness , leading the individual inward to the discovery of their own I AM. To Neville, these are not rules to follow in the hope of future reward. They are inner conditions —states you pass through when you begin to take your imagination seriously as the creative power of God. Notice that each bearitude begins with the word " happy ". The First Step: Recognising the Inner Lack Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:3 This is the beginning of awakening. “Poor in spirit” doesn’t mean lacking virtue—it means the recognition that nothing external can truly satisfy . It is the moment you stop depending on the world and begin to seek the source wi...

The New Testament doxologies are often read as simple expressions of praise to a distant God. Yet through the teachings of Neville Goddard, these exalted declarations take on a inner meaning. Rather than pointing outward, they direct us inward — to the true creative power within each of us: imagination . In this article, each doxology is reinterpreted as a celebration of the I AM , the awareness that shapes all reality. Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Neville interpretation: All things originate in imagination (from him), are sustained through continuous assumption (through him), and find their completion in consciousness (to him). Praise is given to the creative power that is your own I AM, the true source of all manifestations. Romans 16:27 To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. Neville interpretation: To the only true creative power — imagination — belongs all wisdom and ...

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:37–39 There’s a quiet, radiant beauty in Paul’s words in Romans 8:37–39 here. A kind of poetry that speaks not of struggle, but of unbreakable union. This passage is not shouting in triumph—it’s whispering of a deep certainty, the kind that settles into the heart like still water. According to Neville Goddard’s teaching, this love is not abstract. “The love of God in Christ Jesus” is your awareness of being, your felt unity with the state of imagination you choose to dwell in. “The love of God ( I AM ) in Christ Jesus our Lord (Imagination).” There is nothing you could do, feel, or fear that can truly separate you from that love—because ...

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.” — Isaiah 6:3 This is not about ritual praise — it is a profound revelation of the imagination. The “ Lord of Hosts ” is not a deity external to man, but the creative power within: the imagination, which commands the invisible hosts of thought, mood, and movement. It is through this power that all things are made. To call it holy three times is to intensify recognition — a building awareness that this faculty, often overlooked, is in fact sacred. Holy means set apart — not by distance, but by nature. Imagination is unseen, yet it is the true cause of everything seen. The triple “holy” is a progressive awakening to its reality and supremacy. Then comes the declaration: “The whole earth is full of His glory.” This is not a poetic flourish — it is a metaphysical truth. The “earth” symbolises the manifest world, and “His glory” is the radiance of what imagination has assumed to be true. He is the assumption ...

The Bible is not a history book, but a map of consciousness . In its verses lie hidden instructions for inner transformation. Again and again, it calls you inward—to shut the door on appearances, to withdraw from the noise of the world, and to dwell in the holy place of imagination. The temple is not made with hands. It is your own mind, sanctified by the awareness of “ I AM ” (Exodus 3:14). Below are twelve verses, each paired with a simple interpretation that reveals the deeper call: to live from within. Matthew 6:6 But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward. Interpretation: Shut out the senses. Withdraw into the silence of your imagination. The secret act of assuming the wish fulfilled is the true prayer. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not see that you are God’s holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you? Interpretation: Y...

While the entire Bible centres on the joyful use of imagination, here is a selection of beautiful, hope-filled passages that invite you to delight in Him—recognising imagination as the seat of God. Philippians 4:8 (ESV) “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Reflection: Paul challenges us to intentionally “set our minds” on all that is lovely and praiseworthy—practicing a kind of spiritual imagination that fills our thoughts with God’s beauty and goodness. Psalm 37:4 (ESV) “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Reflection: As we cultivate joy in God—imagining His presence, His character, His works—He shapes our desires to align with His heart and then lovingly fulfills them. Psalm 16:11 (ESV) “You make known to me the path of life;...

The Bible is not a historical record, but a symbolic guide to inner transformation. Neville Goddard taught that scripture reveals psychological truths: each passage reflects states of consciousness and the creative power of imagination. Curated to embody softness, receptivity, and the quiet confidence of assumption. Union with Desire “My loved one is mine, and I am his.” – Song of Songs 2:16 Interpretation: In imagination, you become one with the state you seek. The “beloved” represents the ideal you wish to embody; union is the assumption of desire fulfilled. Sacred Request “Let your request be made known to God.” – Philippians 4:6 Interpretation: Defining and assuming your wish fulfilled allows imagination to shape reality. Ask boldly—your heart’s desire is already known. Faithful Stillness “Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him.” – Psalm 37:7 Interpretation: Stillness after assumption is faith; it trusts that your inner act is already effective. Comfort in the...

The Apostles' Creed is a timeless affirmation of faith, and when understood through the lens of Neville Goddard’s teachings, it becomes a guide to transformation.  I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. God = the creative power within us Father = the source of imagination Almighty = limitless potential Creator = the act of imagining both inner (heaven) and outer (earth) realities In Neville Goddard’s teachings, God represents the creative force within each of us. The Father is the imagination—the root of all creation. The Almighty reminds us that we possess limitless creative potential through our imagination, which shapes our internal and external worlds. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. Jesus Christ = the embodied “ I AM ” Only Son = the unique expression of our assumption Our Lord = the sovereign guidance of imagination The “I AM” is the Christ within us, the full embodiment of our assumptions and...

In Neville Goddard’s teachings, feeling is the secret . When you have truly assumed the state of the wish fulfilled—when you feel that you have already received —there is a natural shift in emotion. You no longer reach, plead, or strive. Instead, you experience relief , gratitude , and a settled joy. This emotional atmosphere is consistently reflected in the Bible through the repeated blessing: grace, mercy, and peace . Not Just Words—Spiritual Indicators These three words are not mere pleasantries. They are spiritual indicators of a correct inner stance. And significantly, they appear in Scripture not as requests, but as givens —as natural outcomes of divine presence. In the language of Neville, they describe the emotional signature of the state where the I AM is rightly placed. Grace: The Effortless Flow “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” — 2 Corinthians 13:14 Grace is the ease and flow that comes when...

Opening: Fixed in the Desire “I put out my hands to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water.” — Psalm 143:6, BBE I turn inward, to the only true source. I stretch my hands not to something outside, but to the creative power within. This is the beginning of assumption: the decision to dwell in the end. Bead One: Shadow of the Wings “How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.” — Psalm 36:7, BBE Taking cover under His wings means remaining in the feeling of fulfilment. When I assume the state, I rest under the protective shade of belief. The outside world may shift, but my dwelling place is secured in the imagination. Three Beads: The Wings Bear Me “He will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.” — Psalm 91:11, BBE Assumption is kept alive by inner attention. The angels are my states of consciousness. I go where I dwell in imagination, and that state will sustain me. “They will ke...

The familiar phrase: " ... in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit .". - Matthew 28:19 is traditionally used in Christian prayers and liturgical practices. However, when viewed through the teachings of Neville Goddard , it takes on an entirely new dimension. Rather than a call to external ritual, it becomes an invitation to assume —to recognise and embody the divine trinity within your own consciousness. "In the Name": Assumption of Essence For Neville, the "name" means far more than a title. It represents the nature , essence , or power of something. To act in the name of is to assume and express the qualities associated with that being. To do something “in the name of” is to do it in the character and nature of that state. So, before we even get to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit, we are being instructed to enter into the nature of each. The Father: Awareness of Being In Neville’s framework, the Father symbolises your ...

Not only are these profound affirmations, but when presented together in this way, they also demonstrate how the overarching narrative of the Bible is the source from which Neville derived the Law of Assumption." "I AM THAT I AM" (Exodus 3:14) "I AM with you—do not be afraid" (Isaiah 41:10) "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14) "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17) "You are more than a conqueror" (Romans 8:37) "I know the plans I have for you..." (Jeremiah 29:11) "My grace is sufficient for you" (2 Corinthians 12:9) "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14) "I have given you authority..." (Luke 10:19) "You did not choose me—I chose you" (John 15:16) "Be strong and courageous—I AM with you" (Joshua 1:9) "Let the weak say, I AM strong" (Joel 3:10) "As a man thinket...

In the quiet depths of the heart, the power of creation stirs . It is not an organ of feeling, but a divine workshop — the very source of imagination — where all things are conceived before they become manifest . The heart is the garden of the soul, where the seed of every thought, vision, and dream is planted, nurtured, and brought to life. “And I will give them a heart to have knowledge of me, that I AM the Lord.” — Jeremiah 24:7   The heart is not simply a vessel for emotion, but a sacred space where knowing and creation are joined. It is the place where God's creative imaginatio n is embedded within us — not only to know in the mind, but to feel and envision with the heart. This knowing becomes the gateway to manifestation, for from the heart flows all that we create. The Heart as the Wellspring of Life and Imagination “Keep your heart with all care; for it is the source of life.” — Proverbs 4:23 Every thought, vision, and desire is born in the heart. When we guard the ...

"I am not able to do anything of myself: as the voice comes to me, so I give a decision: and my decision is right, because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me." — John 5:30, Bible in Basic English (BBE) This verse reveals a foundational truth of spiritual consciousness and manifestation. It is not a confession of weakness—it is a statement of divine alignment. “I am not able to do anything of myself” is not the voice of powerlessness, but the recognition that the outer man—the ego, the reactive self—has no creative power on its own. It is a yielding to the inner source, the Father within, which Neville Goddard often describes as your own wonderful human imagination . “As the voice comes to me, so I give a decision” illustrates that creation begins with inner hearing—what is accepted and assumed within. We do not create by effort but by surrendering to the assumption that something already is . The world judges u...
