The Way

In the Mathers table , the Hebrew letter Nun (נ) —literally meaning “fish”—symbolises hidden movement, transformation, and the unseen workings of imagination within the subconscious. In the New Testament, Jesus enacts the 'Spirit moving over the face of the waters' (Genesis 1:2). His interactions with fish and water are not literal events, but symbolic parables: allegories of assumption, showing how inner states emerge into visible form. Read psychologically, these stories teach us to “fish” for our desires—gestating them beneath the surface until they break through into reality. 1. “Follow Me, and I Will Make You Fishers of Men” (Matthew 4:19; Mark 1:17) When Jesus calls Peter and Andrew, he offers more than a career change. He invites them into a new way of being: Surface meaning: Become evangelists, gathering souls for the kingdom. Imaginative meaning: Learn to “fish” with consciousness—casting the net of your assumption into the subconscious waters. Law of A...

The name Jesus is one of the most recognised in the world, yet few realise the depth and power encoded in its original Hebrew form. When examined closely—linguistically and spiritually—it reveals profound truths about salvation, identity, and the nature of divine awareness. 1. Original Hebrew Name The name Jesus originates from the Hebrew: יְהוֹשׁוּעַ ( Yehoshua ) Or its shortened form: יֵשׁוּעַ ( Yeshua ) Both forms carry the essential meaning: “Yahweh is salvation” Or more personally: “God saves” / “The LORD is my salvation” 2. Breakdown of the Name Yehoshua / Yeshua is composed of two key parts: "Yah" (יָה) – A shortened form of YHWH (the sacred name of God, often rendered as Yahweh) "yasha" (יָשַׁע) – A verb meaning to save, deliver, or rescue Together, they create a name that declares: “Yahweh saves” Or: “The I AM saves” According to Neville Goddard , I AM is not just a phrase but the divine name of God (Exodus 3:14). In this light, th...

Water symbolism begins in the very first breath of Scripture. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:1–2, ESV) Before form, before light, before speech— there were the waters . These primordial waters represent the unshaped, creative depth of consciousness —what Neville Goddard would describe as the subconscious realm that holds infinite potential, awaiting the touch of assumption. In the Hebrew alphabet, the letter Mem (מ) means water . This is not a side symbol—it is the origination point , the first element beneath creation, and it continues to flow through every vision, miracle, and transformation in the Bible. Neville Goddard taught that imagination is the creative power of God. Mem— water —is its perfect metaphor: fluid, hidden, alive, and formative. In this article, we explore how this symbolism expr...

Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is a symbolic map of consciousness and imagination. At its core, the “I AM” state — awareness of being — is the creative power behind all manifestation. When we understand biblical stories this way, passages like John 10 and Song of Solomon reveal profound insights into how our inner states open or close the door to the reality we experience. John 10: The Door and the Shepherd In John 10:7-9, Jesus says: "I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." Here, the door symbolises a conscious state — the gateway through which the imagined self enters experience. The sheep represent different states of consciousness or subconsciousness. Entering through the door is a voluntary choice to align with imagination’s creative power. Song of Solomon: The Door, the Latch, and the Beloved Song of Solomon 5:4 presents a delicate image: "My beloved put his hand into the latch of the door, and ...

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...

In Neville Goddard’s teachings, the imagination is the creative power of God—the source of all manifestation. This perspective shifts how we view the story of Abram and Sarai . When God changes their names to Abraham and Sarah , He is not simply renaming them. In the realm of imagination and manifestation, this is a symbolic act of transforming their identity to align with their destined fulfilment. At the heart of this transformation lies the Hebrew letter He (ה) , which is added to their names. The letter He symbolises a window , a breath , or a portal —an opening that allows for the passage of spirit , the inflow of divine energy , and the revelation of the unseen . This is not just a linguistic alteration—it is a profound shift in consciousness. He as the Divine Breath of Imagination In Neville Goddard’s framework, the breath of God is the imagination , the life force that animates our desires and brings them into being. When Abram and Sarai receive the He , they are being i...

The Bible is not a historical record or religious text — it is a symbolic revelation of how consciousness creates reality. Beneath the names, numbers, and stories lies a divine structure that Neville Goddard called the Law of Assumption: the principle that imagining a thing as true brings it into being. One of the clearest recurring symbols of this process is the number four. From the four-letter name of God to the divided garments of Jesus, from the fourth sons who shape destiny to the forty-day periods of transformation, the number four appears as a sacred architecture in Scripture. This article explores how four — and its higher echo, forty — reveals the inner mechanism of assumption, manifestation, and spiritual fulfilment. 1. The Fourfold Structure of Consciousness Neville Goddard described a complete framework of inner creation composed of four stages — what he called the Four Mighty Ones of man’s imagination: imagination itself, inner speech, feeling, and embodiment. These are n...
