The Way

The Bible is not a flat narrative. It spirals upward — deepening, refining, and glorifying its original patterns. Genesis begins with the seven days of creation . Revelation opens with messages to seven churches. These are not two stories, but one story seen from two levels of imagination . In Genesis, the creative process is instinctive. “Let there be light.” It is the emergence of awareness. In Revelation, that same light reappears — now structured into golden candlesticks , eyes of fire , crowns, stones, and thrones. The imagery has become deliberate, elevated, pictorial . This shift is not random. It is the very allegory of the Kingdom of God . Throughout the Gospels, Jesus says “The Kingdom of God is like...” — and then gives a picture: a mustard seed, a pearl , a wedding feast, a man sowing in a field. These are not morality tales. They are the language of the revelatory imagination — the mode by which spiritual truth is disclosed and received. The Kingdom o...

The Song of Solomon is one of the most poetic and symbolically rich books of the Hebrew Bible. At its heart lies the intense and sacred relationship between Solomon, whose name means “peace” (שְׁלֹמֹה, Shlomoh ), and the Shulammite bride, whose name suggests completeness and peace ( Shulammith ). Together, they represent the mental marriage sparked by the concept of ask, believe, receive . — a metaphor for the spiritual peace that comes when creation is imaginatively complete and the mind rests in its completed joyful form . The Meaning Behind the Names Solomon derives from the Hebrew root shalom (שָׁלוֹם), encompassing meanings of peace, harmony, completeness, and wholeness. This name immediately evokes the state of rest and perfection that follows completion — a state central to the creation narrative and the spiritual journey. The Shulammite bride (שׁוּלַמִּית) carries a name linked to shalom as well, often interpreted as “the peaceful one” or “the woman of peace.” She e...

In Genesis 4:15 (BBE) , God places a mark on Cain: “And Jehovah said to him, ‘No man who kills Cain shall be punished, but he shall be punished seven times more.’ Then Jehovah put a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him.” Cain’s mark symbolises a mind weighed down by sasness, anger, fear, hopelessness, guilt, loneliness, and separation — an inner state “ missing the mark ” and caught in negative, wild beast-minded patterns. Later, Lamech’s declaration in Genesis 4:24 intensifies this: “If Cain will be punished seven times, then Lamech seventy times seven.” This echoes Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness in Matthew 18:21-22 (NIV): “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’” Both Lamech’s vow and Jesus ’ teaching highlight the mind’s potential to become trapped in endless loops (wheels) of in...

When most people hear " forgive seventy times seven," they imagine a moral command to endlessly pardon others. But according to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a book of ethics — it is a psychological manual showing you how to shape your reality through assumption . Who Is the "Brother"? In Matthew 18, Peter asks: "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Psychologically, "your brother" is not an external person. It represents the old, limiting states within yourself — the persistent thoughts, doubts, and feelings that contradict your chosen desire. Each time a contradictory state arises, you are invited to " forgive " it — meaning you release it and return to your wish fulfilled. This is beautifully illustrated in the story of Joseph , who rises in consciousness despite being rejected by his brothers. The Numbers: 7 and 70 Jesus replies: "I do not say to you up to seven times...

In the Bible, two sacred objects —the Urim and Thummim —were carried by Israel’s High Priest in the breastplate of judgment (Exodus 28:30). Their exact function remains mysterious, yet their symbolism fits beautifully within Neville Goddard’s teachings on imagination and manifestation. These objects offer us insight into the divine power within ourselves to manifest our desires. The Urim: The Light of Imagination Biblical Anchor: The word Urim comes from ’or (Hebrew for “light,” Exodus 28:30; Deuteronomy 33:8). Neville’s Insight: Imagination is the light that illuminates our inner world. Just as the Urim provided divine “light” to Israel, our imagination lights the way to what we wish to manifest. Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” This “lamp” is the inner light of imagination, guiding us toward the reality we choose to create. In Hebrew symbolism, light is not merely illumination but revelation —the dawning of an inner knowing. Th...

The first chapter of Genesis is not a literal account of external creation. It is a dream-like, pictorial revelation of how states of consciousness unfold from the deep of imagination into visible life. According to Neville Goddard, each “day” describes a step in the movement from formless awareness (“I AM”) to the full embodiment of a chosen state. It is pure imaginative assumption, described in the language of water, earth, light, and seed — the soft symbols of inner vision.  Day One: Let There Be Light Symbol: Awareness of “I AM” In the beginning, the mind is like deep, unbroken water — dark, undefined, waiting. Then arises the first silent glimmer: I AM . This is the light, not yet “I AM this or that,” but the pure awareness of being . It is the gentle division between unconscious drifting and conscious awakening. This “light” is a symbolic picture of the moment when you first sense your own existence — the initial dream-flash of self-awareness. Day Two: The Firmament Symbo...

"God became man that man may become God." — Neville Goddard  This article traces the  genealogy  of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 1:1–17, pairing each ancestor’s Hebrew name meaning (per Strong’s Concordance) with a concise Neville Law of Assumption insight.  Matthew's genealogy runs from Abraham to Jesus, while Luke's genealogy runs in reverse order from Jesus to God. Luke Lists 77 generations, a number often associated with completeness or spiritual perfection .

Neville Goddard declared with unwavering confidence: “ Creation is finished.” This isn’t a poetic exaggeration, nor is it a philosophical abstraction. It’s the foundation of how reality unfolds—not through effort or accumulation, but through awareness. To understand what Neville meant, we must return to the book that sets the pattern: Genesis. Neville never referred to Genesis casually. For him, it wasn’t just the first book of the Bible—it was the pattern upon which the whole of Scripture rests . To understand Genesis, he said, is to understand the Bible. The Seed Code of All Creation In Genesis 1:11, it is written that the earth brings forth fruit, “ whose seed is in itself . ” This is not just botany—it is the divine principle: everything already contains within itself its outcome . Every state of being, every version of life you could live, is already planted in imagination. Creation is not ongoing. It is already complete. What we experience as the unfolding of time is simply t...

Neville Goddard teaches that assumption — the act of believing something is already true — is the key to creating our reality. The power of assumption is central to both the completion of creation and the fulfillment of Christ's work. This process is inherently tied to imagination as the creative force through which we manifest our desires. Let’s explore how the number seven and the act of assuming completion play a significant role in manifesting spiritual perfection. The Seventh Day: Assuming Completion In the creation story , God ( your awareness of being ) declares creation to be “good” on the seventh day. This is more than just satisfaction; it is an assumption that the work is complete. In Neville’s framework, this means God uses imagination to assume the perfection of creation , and that assumption brings it into existence. The seventh day of rest symbolizes a peaceful assurance — a deep, inner knowing that everything is already as it should be. When we rest in the a...

“This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”— Genesis 2:23 This verse is not about the origin of gender, but a profound metaphysical law: that the “ woman ” is the world we birth from within—our assumptions made flesh. She is not separate from “ man ” (our awareness), but drawn out from him, as manifestation is drawn from consciousness. And with this lens, we reencounter Mary Magdalene , the woman from whom seven devils were cast out. Mary Magdalene: The Transformed World In the Gospels (Luke 8:2; Mark 16:9), Mary Magdalene is named as the one from whom seven devils were cast out. Tradition wrapped this in shame, wrongly merging her with the “sinful woman” of Luke 7, painting her as a prostitute . But the text doesn’t say this—and Neville Goddard’s teaching invites us to read symbolically, not morally. Mary is the world reshaped —the “ woman ” formed from the transformation of consciousness. The devils are not evi...

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man…” — Revelation 1:13 “The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks among the seven golden candlesticks.” — Revelation 2:1 In Neville Goddard’s framework, the Bible is not a history of people but a symbolic revelation of the mind's journey from ignorance to illumination . The seven golden candlesticks in Revelation are symbols of this journey: the restoration of imagination to its original creative purity , as described in Genesis. The Original Creative Act “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” This is not external cosmology, but an inward creative pattern. The Spirit of God —your own wonderful human imagination—moves upon the waters, which represent the subconscious mind. Creation begins as pure imagining, untouched by distortion...
