The Way

When Neville Goddard famously declared that “feeling is the secret,” he did not mean that we must anxiously chase after some fleeting emotional excitement. Rather, he spoke of a deep inner conviction — a quiet knowing — that we are already what we desire to be. This "feeling" is the seed of all creation, the state from which all manifestations flow. Many students become conflicted here: What exactly is this feeling? How do I find it? The Bible, read symbolically as Neville taught, offers profound guidance on this question. Far from simply being a historical or moral text, it is a psychological manual detailing how to shift consciousness — to rise from the old self into the new. It is a book of inner drama, inviting us to put off one identity and put on another, to die to the past and rise in newness. The Bible’s continual symbolism of “lifting up” Throughout the Bible, we see a constant theme of lifting up , rising, or ascending: Moses ascends Mount Sinai to receiv...

When people first hear the phrase “Ask, believe, receive,” it can sound like a spiritual vending machine. But this principle, highlighted again and again by Jesus in the Gospels, is not about making requests to a distant God —it’s about an inner relationship: the sacred interplay of desire, imagination, and feeling. It's significant that it's a phrase spoken of in all four gospels: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7 “And whatever you ask for in prayer, if you have faith, you will receive it.” — Matthew 21:22 “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” — Mark 11:24 "And I say to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” — Luke 11:9 “Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” — John 16:24 These verses are not instructions to beg, but invitations to assume .

Neville Goddard famously taught that the essence of creation lies in feeling : “Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.” Many interpret this as a call to gratitude and humility. While gratitude is part of the path, Neville’s deeper insight — illuminated beautifully in Scripture — is about entering and living the feeling of identity and dominion itself . The feeling that the Song of Solomon so vividly captures is the very state Neville pointed to as the secret. At the heart of this story is Judah , symbolised as the lion and the holder of the sceptre. He is the ‘He’ of the Song, the beloved, the one with whom the soul—the bride—unites. This union is not abstract; it is intense adoration, a feeling so rich it becomes a lived reality. Consider this declaration of mutual possession: “I AM my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.” (Song 6:3) This is the perfect picture of Neville’s “feeling is the secret.” It is the felt experience of belonging fully to a st...

Many people come to the Bible through traditional Christianity and find deep comfort in the figure of Jesus. But here’s the thing—they’re not truly connecting to a physical man who lived 2,000 years ago. Whether they realise it or not, they’re connecting with what Jesus symbolises: Imagination . The teachings of Jesus feel good, not because they validate a historical timeline, but because they awaken something timeless within—the creative power of the self. That feeling of peace, of security, of being “seen”—it’s the result of assuming something deeply personal and alive. That assumption is, “I am known. I am loved. I am safe.” And when those assumptions take root, the corresponding feelings follow. This is why Neville Goddard said, “Feeling is the secret.” It’s not about agreeing with doctrine or memorising stories. It’s about the emotional alignment with a state of being that uplifts, transforms, and restores. When someone walks away from a church service or a passage of Scriptu...

Throughout the Bible, music and dancing accompany some of the most powerful scenes of transformation, restoration, and celebration. But beneath the surface, these elements speak not just of outward events—but of inner spiritual processes. According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not secular history but a spiritual manual written in symbolic language, showing how imagination shapes reality. In that light: Music symbolises the tuning of the imagination—aligning the inner world to the desired state. Dancing symbolises praise—the spontaneous expression that bursts forth when the state is fully accepted as real. Together, they represent the complete arc of manifestation: from inner harmony to outward joy. Music as the Tuning of Imagination “But now bring me a minstrel.” And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. — 2 Kings 3:15 (KJV) When the prophet Elisha needed revelation, he didn’t begin with action—he asked for music. The music p...
