Luke and Matthew: Two Genealogies, Two Symbolic Paths of Manifestation

" 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...

Defilement and Obsession with Ritual: Matthew 15 Through Neville Goddard’s Teachings

In Matthew 15:1-20 , Jesus challenges the Pharisees' obsession with external rituals and reveals a crucial teaching about the nature of purification and defilement. When viewed through the framework of Neville Goddard's teachings, this passage becomes a powerful lesson on the creative power of assumption, imagination, and internal awareness. Let’s explore how Neville’s teachings shed light on the deeper meaning of this scripture. External Rituals vs. Inner Transformation The story begins with the Pharisees questioning why Jesus' disciples do not follow the tradition of washing their hands before eating. For them, these rituals were important for maintaining purity. However, Jesus redirects their attention away from outward actions and emphasizes the importance of inner transformation. Matthew 15:2-3 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!" Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God...

"Jesus Only": Matthew 17:8–13 Interpreted Through the Law of Assumption

Matthew 17:8–13 is not a mystical episode about heavenly beings glowing on a mountaintop. When read through the Law of Assumption, as taught by Neville Goddard, it reveals a clear and powerful shift in consciousness: the moment when all outside forms of authority fall away, and only your assumption—your accepted state of being—remains. “They saw no man, save Jesus only.” This is the key phrase in the passage. It’s not a minor detail—it’s the message. Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus during the Transfiguration. But when the disciples lift their eyes after falling in fear, those two figures are gone. Only Jesus remains. In the Law of Assumption, this means you’ve stopped looking to external frameworks (Moses, the law) or future expectations (Elijah, the prophet) as your source of direction or authority. Instead, you recognise your own I AM—the awareness of being—as the sole creative power . You stop seeking validation outside yourself. You no longer ask, “What does the law say?” o...

Reconcile Before You Imagine: Matthew 5:23–26

The passage in Matthew 5:23–26 is often read as a moral instruction, a call to settle disputes and forgive offences. But through the teachings of Neville Goddard, it reveals a much deeper metaphysical principle—one not about human courts, but about the laws of consciousness and the creative power of imagination . “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.” — Matthew 5:23–26 (ESV) The Altar as the Place of Assumption Neville taught that the Bible is psychological drama —not historical record, but a blueprint of the inner world. In this...
