The Way

The first chapter of Genesis is not a historical account of how the world began—it is a profound map of how creation unfolds within. When read through the understanding shared by Neville Goddard, each "day" of creation represents a phase in the process of manifesting a new reality from imagination. This is not about the outer world being formed in time, but about consciousness structuring itself into visible expression. What follows is a symbolic journey through these seven creative stages, grounded in scripture and the truth that the seed of every outcome lies within the self. Day One: Let There Be Light Symbol: Awareness and Recognition of “I AM” Genesis 1:1–5 (BBE): At the first God made the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters . And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and Go...

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 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 assumption of fulfillment, we align...

The Bible tells us that Mary Magdalene had seven devils cast out of her (Luke 8:2; Mark 16:9), but it does not define what those devils were. Tradition has muddied her story with moral judgments, but Neville Goddard encourages us to look deeper. In his teaching, everything in the Bible happens in the mind of man . Devils, then, are not demons to be feared—but destructive states of consciousness we unconsciously assume. 1. The Traditional Misreading of Mary Magdalene For centuries, Mary Magdalene was widely mischaracterised as a former prostitute. This interpretation, popularised by early Church tradition but not supported by the text, merged her identity with the unnamed sinful woman of Luke 7. Neville’s teachings challenge us to go beyond literal readings and moral assumptions, and instead to view Mary not as a fallen woman, but as a symbolic figure of transformation—someone who had lived under powerful limiting beliefs and rose to new awareness. 2. Consciousness Is the Only Reality ...

In Neville Goddard's teachings, the Bible is not a historical record but a metaphysical allegory for spiritual growth and the creative power within us. Each symbol, parable, and narrative in the Bible reflects the process of  self-realisation  and the unfolding of consciousness. One fascinating intersection of these symbols can be found in the  seven golden candlesticks  in the  Book of Revelation , the  seven days of creation  in the  Book of Genesis , and the  seven demons  cast out of  Mary Magdalene . These three symbols represent different aspects of the  spiritual awakening process -  a journey of  purification ,  illumination , and the realisation of our  divine potential The Seven Days of Creation: Stages of Consciousness In the  Book of Genesis , the  seven days of creation  describe how God created the world in stages. Each day is a metaphor for a phase of the divine creative process...
