The Way

The fifth chapter of Luke is rich with meaning when read psychologically, as Neville Goddard encouraged. It isn’t a series of historical miracles or religious doctrines; it’s a coded revelation of how consciousness moves, how identity shifts, and how assumption governs manifestation. Each section unfolds a deeper principle of how transformation happens—not in the outer world first, but in the inner landscape of belief and awareness. Let’s explore Luke 5:21–39 through the Law of Assumption, seeing each movement as an interior event. Verses 21–26: Healing the Paralysed Man Assumption Overrides Limitation “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” “Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?” The paralysed man represents a state of consciousness stuck in immobility—unable to move forward because the self-concept has crystallised into helplessness. The religious scribes respond in outrage because Jesus (symbol of the awakened imagination) dares to f...

Luke 4:23–27 Interpreted Psychologically Through the Law of Assumption When Jesus says, “No prophet is accepted in his own country,” He is not addressing social rejection. Understood psychologically, He is describing an inner conflict —the resistance that arises when we attempt to step into a new identity. According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a historical account, but a psychological document charting the unfolding of consciousness and imagination. Your “Own Country” as Self-Concept Your “own country” symbolises your current self-concept —the familiar structure of beliefs, habits, and identifications. The moment you dare to imagine differently—to assume a higher state of being—this “country” resists. The voice of the old self says: “Physician, heal thyself.” In other words: “Prove it before I’ll believe it.” But according to Neville, the Law of Assumption works in reverse: You must believe before you see. You are called to feel the truth of your new identity as though ...

" Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD , the first, and with the last; I AM he." - Isaiah 41:4 (KJV) "So the last will be first , and the first last."- Mat 20:16 The genealogy in Luke 3:23–38 is not simply a list of ancestors—it's a symbolic journey of consciousness. Each name, when understood through its Hebrew meaning, reflects a specific quality or phase in the unfolding of awareness. Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is not a historical account but a psychological blueprint, where names and stories represent inner states experienced by the individual soul. This table presents each name from Luke’s genealogy alongside its Hebrew meaning according to Strong’s Concordance , offering a view of this lineage as a sequence of spiritual states ascending toward the realisation of the divine self.

" Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD , the first, and with the last; I AM he." - Isaiah 41:4 (KJV) "So the last will be first , and the first last."- Mat 20:16 "The Gospels of Luke and Matthew both present genealogies of Jesus, but they differ significantly in structure, order, and emphasis . These differences are not merely historical curiosities or literary preferences — they carry deep symbolic meaning , aligning beautifully with Neville Goddard’s teaching on the Law of Assumption : that what we inwardly accept as true will eventually unfold in our outer world. Luke’s Genealogy: The Path of Universal Consciousness Luke 3:23–38 traces Jesus’ lineage backward , beginning with Jesus and ending with Adam , “the son of God.” This reverse progression is unique in the New Testament and rich in symbolic depth. Starting Point: Jesus as the Present State of Consciousness In Neville’s teaching, Jesus represents th...

The Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, pose a scenario about a woman who marries seven brothers, each dying childless. They ask whose wife she will be in the resurrection. This question is not sincere—it reflects the logical mind mocking spiritual truth . The Sadducees, symbolic of the outer reasoning man, are trying to trap the deeper, imaginative self in a web of physicality and linear thinking. The woman passed between seven brothers symbolises a state —a soul—seeking fulfilment through external means. Each "marriage" represents an attempt to generate life from outer law, but none can produce the fruit of manifestation. The true union of 'marriage' is emotively described in the Song of Solomon. Neville Goddard would say that without understanding the inner law—that imagination creates reality—all these outer “husbands” (attempts) are barren. Resurrection is not about dead bodies returning to life; it is the awakening of the inner man to his true nature , where...

When Jesus speaks of "nation rising against nation" and "great earthquakes," most readers instinctively think of the apocalypse. Luke 21:10–20 is often quoted in sermons, end-time prophecies, and theological debates as a warning of global cataclysm and the Second Coming. But what if this passage is not about the literal end of the world, but rather the internal revolution required for spiritual rebirth? This article explores two contrasting interpretations: the traditional apocalyptic reading and the symbolic framework inspired by Neville Goddard , a mystic who taught that Scripture describes the psychological and spiritual experiences of the individual. The Traditional Interpretation: Global Upheaval and Christ's Return Most mainstream Christian denominations interpret Luke 21:10–20 as a prophecy of future global events. This view sees Jesus predicting a literal escalation of violence, natural disasters, persecution of believers, and the eventual visible r...

From Doubt to Inner Knowing: The Shift from John to Jesus The passage in Luke 7:18–35 presents one of the most striking contrasts between two inner states of being: John the Baptist and Jesus . To the casual reader, this scene may appear to describe an exchange between two men in history. But through the teachings of Neville Goddard, it reveals a profound psychological drama —one that unfolds not in time and space, but within the individual soul . Let’s walk through this passage piece by piece, reinterpreting it symbolically as a progression of states within you . Verses 18–19: The Question of the Rational Mind “And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things. Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?” John symbolises the rational mind , the forerunner, the phase of preparation. He represents the part of us that begins to awaken spiritually but still looks outside for validation. When ...
