The Way

Neville Goddard  Throughout history, many men have turned to the Bible for its symbolism. They have mined it for names, numbers, codes, and patterns. Some used it to support elaborate magical systems; others built entire schools of mysticism from it. Yet among them all, only Neville Goddard interpreted the Bible as a unified, symbolic journey of personal transformation . Symbolism Without the Whole From ancient Kabbalists to Victorian occultists, the symbolic content of the Bible has been a source of fascination and speculation. Systems like Gematria, angelic hierarchies, planetary correspondences, and ceremonial rituals often drew upon the sacred names and structures of the Hebrew scriptures. Take S.L. MacGregor Mathers , for example — a key figure in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He created intricate tables that drew on Hebrew correspondences, astrological signs, and angelic orders. But his use of the Bible was selective: not a narrative, not a unified story , but a s...

William Blake, the poet, artist, and mystic, is celebrated for his visionary works and critique of institutionalised religion. He viewed the Bible as a rich tapestry of spiritual truths, but his interpretations were abstract, poetic, and complex. Blake’s work invites deep reflection, focusing on the imagination and inner vision as tools for spiritual awakening. However, his approach is often difficult to decode, requiring intellectual engagement and artistic appreciation, which can make it inaccessible for many.

For him, the Bible was not a literal account but a map of deeper spiritual truths expressed through allegories. Blake rejected institutionalised religion, believing it suppressed personal spiritual growth and stifled the imagination, which he saw as the divine force for enlightenment. His works are filled with rich, complex symbols and allegories that inv...

Many of today’s spiritual practices—whether it's astrology, alchemy, Tarot, Buddhism, or even systems like witchcraft—are built on the fundamental truth that imagination shapes our reality. But over time, the core idea has been obscured. These practices, while diverse in their symbols and rituals, all point to the same underlying principle: consciousness is the key to creating our life. Neville Goddard's teachings brought this principle into sharp focus, stripping away the complexity. He didn’t rely on external rituals or systems; he emphasised the power within us through imagination and assumption. The law of assumption is not just a teaching of Neville’s—it is an ancient truth found across many spiritual traditions. Whether you look at astrology's cycles, alchemy's transformation, or even certain aspects of Buddhism, you’ll find echoes of this central idea: that our thoughts and imagination shape our experience. Unfortunately, in many modern spiritual systems, the s...
