The Bible is a psychological drama taking place within the reader’s own mind, where every character symbolises a state of self-perception. These figures reflect inner conversations — beliefs, doubts, desires — revealing the unfolding journey of self-awareness and transformation. The Bible defines itself from the beginning of Genesis. Here is an initial set of Bible-based psychological foundations to help the reader begin interpreting Scripture through the power of imagination: THE DEFINITION OF GOD: Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created…” The name for Elohim is a plural term meaning judges, rulers, and powers. It symbolises the manifold aspects of your mind and imagination at work. Read more on this here. IMAGINATION AS THE SEED OF LIFE: Genesis 1:11 The seed of every experience is planted in imagination. Read more on this here. MAN AS INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION OF SELF: Genesis 1:26 “God said, Let Us make man in Our image ...

1. The Bible wasn’t written all at once. Think of it like a library , not one book. Different bits were written over hundreds of years , then gathered together later. 2. It started as stories people told each other. Before anything was written down, people told stories out loud. These were passed down for generations , especially around 3,000 years ago . 3. Writing began around 2,900 years ago. The oldest parts (like poems and early laws) started getting written around 900 BCE . That’s about 2,925 years ago . 4. The Old Testament came together over time. Different scrolls and books were written and edited over centuries. By about 2,200 years ago , most of it looked like what we have now. 5. The New Testament came much later. Around 2,000 years ago , people started writing about Jesus—his life, teachings, and what it meant. Letters by Paul (a big early Christian writer) came first, around 1,975 years ago . The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, etc.) followed. ...

Many readers approach the Bible burdened with fixed assumptions and traditional interpretations that can block deeper understanding. Neville Goddard often pointed to the story of the rich man who struggled to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:23–24). This rich man symbolises a mind “filled with many possessions”—that is, a subconscious crowded with rigid beliefs and assumptions. Such a “rich” mind finds it difficult to enter the “kingdom of heaven,” which represents awakened consciousness and the creative power of imagination. At the very least, if you have a background in the traditional, literal and historical interpretation of the Bible, it's important to separate these approaches in your mind. In much the same way, the Bible cannot be fully understood without first clearing the subconscious of limiting beliefs. The scriptures are not historical accounts or moral lessons but symbolic teachings about the subconscious mind and the creative imagination. What you “fill” your s...

The Bible is a book of psychological symbolism, revealing that God is found in imagination. It teaches the reader to assume the state they desire to live in—symbolised by figures like Abel, Joseph, and David—while abandoning the old state of being, represented by Cain and Saul. Through sustained imagination, the desired state is brought into manifestation, embodied by Jesus. The Bible isn’t a historical record or a moral rulebook, it's a profound guide to inner transformation. When read symbolically, the Bible reveals itself as a psychological map, instructing the reader in how to shift states of being. It teaches that God is not found in a distant heaven but in the human imagination—the creative power within. This inner God is the source of all that is seen, experienced, and expressed. God is Imagination Neville Goddard taught that the name of God— I AM — (Ex 3:14) is the awareness of being itself. Imagination, then, is not some fanciful indulgence, but the divine creative force....

Explore the foundational terms of Neville Goddard’s teachings, each illuminated with relevant Bible passages. These terms reframe traditional scripture as practical instruction for inner transformation and the manifestation of desires. 1. I AM Definition: Your fundamental awareness of being; God within you. Bible References: Exodus 3:14 — “I AM THAT I AM.” John 8:58 — “Before Abraham was, I am.” Neville’s View: This is the name of God and your own essential identity. Any state you attach to “I AM” becomes manifest. 2. Imagination Definition: The creative power of God in man. Bible References: Genesis 1:27 — “God created man in his own image.” Ephesians 3:20 — “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly... according to the power that worketh in us.” Neville’s View: Imagination is not fantasy — it is the spiritual act that precedes manifestation. God creates through imagination, and so do you. 3. Assumption Definition: Accepting a desired state as alr...

The Bible speaks in symbolic language. Beneath its outward stories lies an inward revelation—one that reflects the structure and activity of the mind. The characters, places, and events are not merely historical; they are psychological patterns and spiritual principles. When we approach the Scriptures through this symbolic understanding—as taught by Neville Goddard—we begin to see that the Kingdom of God, the power of creation, and even God Himself are all found within. The verses below are just a few of the more direct examples in which the Bible openly hints at its inner meaning. They highlight the truth that the kingdom is not a realm “out there,” but an invisible world of imagination—the real place of prayer, creation, and transformation. ✧ The Kingdom Is Within You Luke 17:20–21 (BBE) “And being questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in answer, The kingdom of God does not come with watching for it; And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There!...

The Hebrew alphabet holds profound mystical significance, and one of the best-known resources for decoding its secrets is the Mathers Table, compiled by S.L. MacGregor Mathers. This table associates each of the 22 Hebrew letters with specific symbolic meanings, numerical values, and phonetic sounds. Through this framework, the Hebrew alphabet serves as a spiritual map, offering insights into the nature of creation, consciousness, and the divine process. In this article, we will explore the Mathers Table, translating its symbolic meanings into Neville Goddard’s spiritual framework, particularly focusing on how these letters align with principles of manifestation, imagination, and self-transformation. The Full Mathers Table Letter Numerical Value Signification Aleph (א) 1 Represents the divine, unity, and beginning—signifying the "I AM" consciousness in Goddard’s teachings. Bet (ב) 2 Represents a house or dwelling place; symbolises the mind as a vessel f...

A Quick Guide to Unlocking the Inner Meaning of Scripture Through Imagination and Symbolism Introduction To read the Bible through the eyes of Neville Goddard is to move from religious dogma into personal transformation. Neville taught that the Bible is not a historical record, but a symbolic revelation of consciousness. It is the story of you —your struggles, assumptions, beliefs, and divine creative power. This guide helps you interpret the Bible not as a book of rules or rituals, but as an instruction manual for manifestation , spiritual awakening , and self-realisation through the power of imagination . 1. Understand Neville’s Core Premise: The Bible Is Your Story Neville’s message is simple but revolutionary: God is your own wonderful human imagination. The Bible is a coded psychological blueprint—not a history book. Every story in scripture happens within you . The characters are not people of the past—they are states of being, emotions, beliefs, assumptions, ...

The Bible is not a historical document or religious text—it is a coded psychological drama, a spiritual map detailing the evolution of human consciousness,  dressed  up as history. Through stories, genealogies , architecture , and names, the Bible reveals how “ I AM ” —the divine sense of self—unfolds across inner states of being. In this guide, we’ll walk through the core features of that symbolic terrain, especially as interpreted through the mystical teachings of Neville Goddard. 1. The Bible as a Spiritual Allegory Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is not secular history but divine psychology. Every character, city, nation, and object symbolises states within you. The Bible describes not events that happened thousands of years ago, but eternal processes happening within the soul. “The Bible is your autobiography, written symbolically.” – Neville Goddard 2. The Central Narrative: From Forgetfulness to Fulfilment The Biblical arc begins with man forgetting his divine o...

The Bible is not a moral instruction manual—it is a  code of consciousness . Every divine “I” is your  I AM  speaking. Every line attributed to God is the voice of  your imagination , inviting you to embody a new state. At the centre of all Scripture stands a simple yet thunderous phrase—God’s name itself: "I AM THAT I AM" Exodus 3:14 This is the hidden name of God— consciousness aware of itself . Declare “I AM” followed by anything, and you breathe life into it. That is the law and the promise. Throughout both Old and New Testaments, this divine truth echoes again and again—calling you to awaken: "I am with you—do not be afraid." Isaiah 41:10 The presence of God is your  awareness of being . When you feel fear, you’ve left your true dwelling place. Return to the I AM—the only presence that creates—and fear dissolves. "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14 This is a metaphysical reminder: You are  imagination clothed in flesh . Your ability...

According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a historical account but a symbolic story of your own inner transformation. The characters within its pages aren’t external heroes or ancient figures — they are states of consciousness within you. Two of the most powerful symbols in this spiritual journey are David and Jesus. David represents the awakening of your imaginative power, iwhile Jesus signifies the full realisation of your divine identity. Together, they trace the arc of your personal awakening — from latent potential to conscious creation. 1. You Are Inherently God (the Father) At your core, you are pure awareness — the eternal “I AM.” Neville teaches that this fundamental consciousness is God Himself, the source of all creation. This divine presence exists within every individual, waiting to be recognised. Before you become David or Jesus, you are already the Father — the still, silent origin of all that is. 2. David: The Awakening of Imagination in Action David symbolises a p...
