The Way

In the blessing Jacob gives to Judah (Genesis 49:11–12), he declares: "Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; he washes his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be dark with wine, and his teeth white with milk." This striking passage is not just poetic; it speaks directly to the creative process as understood in Neville Goddard’s teachings. Every image here — the vine, the donkey, the wine, and even the milk — symbolises a function of the imagination and the law by which it brings forth reality. Jacob’s words to Judah offer a vivid metaphor for the Law of Assumption and the inner alignment it requires. The Vine: Your “I AM” — The Creative Centre of Being In Scripture, the vine symbolises the inner source from which all life and experience grow. When Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches” (John 15:5), He is not referring to Himself as a separate being — He is revealing a mystical truth: the “...

In the Bible, Zebulun is one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and his name carries symbolic weight far beyond genealogy. He represents the principle of dwelling in and honouring the subconscious mind, and of conscious union with its creative power—key concepts in both Scripture and Neville Goddard’s interpretation of imagination as the creative force of life. The Meaning Behind Zebulun’s Name In Genesis 30:20, Leah declares: “God has given me a good bride-price; now at last my husband will dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons.” Zebulun’s name is connected to this statement, tying together the ideas of bride-price , dwelling , and the number six . In Hebrew symbolism, six (represented by the letter vav ) means connection , union , and completion . The concept of the bride symbolises the soul —a central theme in the Song of Solomon , where the union of the bride and bridegroom reflects the inner marriage of conscious and subconscious, or soul and spirit. Leah’s desire for her h...

Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob, emerges in Scripture as a rich symbol of inner transformation. When we trace every reference to Naphtali in the Old Testament and interpret it through Neville Goddard’s teachings, we uncover a narrative of wrestling with the self, liberation of imagination, and the poetic fulfilment of that struggle. 1. The Name Naphtali: "My Struggle" Genesis 30:8 records Rachel naming her son Naphtali, from the Hebrew נַפְתָּלִי, meaning "my struggle" or "wrestling". In Neville’s framework, this signifies the sacred friction between the old self—bound by limiting beliefs—and the emerging new self poised to manifest higher states of consciousness. Subconscious origin : Born of Bilhah, the handmaid, Naphtali represents imagination stirring from the subconscious depths. Necessary tension : Without this internal wrestling there can be no growth; Naphtali embodies the conflict essential to transformation. 2. The Blessing: From Struggle...

In Genesis 49, the patriarch Jacob gathers his sons to speak blessings over them before his death. These blessings are not just ancestral words of farewell—they are profound prophecies, each symbolically revealing states of consciousness and inner development. Among them, Joseph and Judah stand out as sons set apart for special blessings—Joseph as the fruitful imagination and Judah as the royal line of sovereign adoration - praise. Read through the teachings of Neville Goddard , who emphasised the power of assumption and imagination, Joseph’s journey mirrors that of anyone who dares to live from the end—who chooses to persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. His life becomes a blueprint for manifesting abundance despite opposition. This symbolic narrative deepens when we draw from the Song of Solomon , a book that poetically expresses the passionate pursuit of the ideal, revealing the soul’s union with its inner beloved—its imagined state. Together, these passages tell the story o...

Ezekiel 37 presents a vision of restoration through the symbol of two sticks joined into one. Neville Goddard’s teachings reveal this as an inner process where divided states of consciousness unite through imagination and praise. The two sticks represent Judah , symbolising praise as the sovereign adoration expressed in the Song of Solomon, and Joseph , symbolising imagination through his biblical story of dreams and manifestation. When praise and imagination are joined, they create a creative force that brings forth fulfilment and unity. This article breaks down Ezekiel 37 with the Bible passages and a focused interpretation on praise (Judah) and imagination (Joseph). The Two Sticks Represent Judah (praise) and Joseph (imagination) Bible passage (Ezekiel 37:15-16, BBE): “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Take one stick, and write on it, For Judah and the sons of Israel who are with him; then take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for the ...

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. In Genesis 49:8–12 , Jacob’s blessing over Judah brims with rich symbolism: a lion’s strength, a royal sceptre, fertile vineyards, and the sweet wine of celebration. This vivid imagery echoes deeply in the Song of Solomon , whose language paints love and desire with lush, sensory detail. Through Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption , thes...
