The Way

A Symbolic Exploration through the Teachings of Neville Goddard The story of Jeremiah 36 is not a historical moment—it’s a richly symbolic drama that unfolds within the soul. Each character and action reveals the pattern by which inner vision becomes outer expression and how the world resists, then eventually yields to the invisible power of imagination. It’s a story in which the Bible demonstrates the allegory of the ‘Word of God’. 1. The Word Comes to Jeremiah (Verses 1–4) “And it came to pass... that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee... from the days of Josiah even unto this day.” (Jeremiah 36:1–2) Neville’s Interpretation: Jeremiah—meaning "whom Jehovah has appointed"—represents your inner awareness, the imagination that hears from the divine "I AM." The command to write the vision down speaks to the first step in manifestation: defining the inner Word, ...

In the Bible, the names Micah and Michael both ask the same question: “Who is like God?” Yet, they represent two stages of spiritual awakening— Micah as the seeking soul and Michael as the realised divine self. By examining these names through Neville Goddard’s teachings, we uncover a deeper understanding of how the journey from questioning to realisation mirrors our own path to manifesting our desires through the creative power of imagination. Micah: The Seeker of Divinity “There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.” — Judges 17:1 In Judges 17 , we are introduced to a man named Micah , from the tribe of Ephraim, who starts his journey in search of divine connection.

In Neville Goddard’s framework, Micah symbolises the part of us that seeks spiritual truth, wondering how we can ever b...

A Neville Goddard Interpretation “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” — Judges 17:6 This passage isn’t just historical—it’s psychological. According to Neville Goddard, the Bible takes place in the imagination of the individual. Every character represents a quality of consciousness or inner condition . Judges 17 is the story of someone awakening to inner power—but misplacing it by externalising what belongs within. Micah: The Soul Asking, ‘Who is Like God?’ “There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.” — Judges 17:1 The name Micah means “Who is like God?” —a question that reflects the soul beginning to stir. Micah symbolises the part of us that’s curious about the divine, even willing to explore spiritual things, but still lacks clarity. He’s not yet grounded in the truth that imagination is God . Micah’s Mother: The Subconscious Root of Belief He said unto his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels...
