In biblical numerology, the number six carries profound significance. It is the number of love . It corresponds to the Hebrew letter vav (ו) , which literally means “nail” or “peg.” This simple but powerful symbol lies at the heart of scripture —especially the crucifixion and the unification of the various judges and rulers of the mind. Six: The Nail That Joins and Connects The letter vav functions as a connector in Hebrew grammar, often translated as “and.” More than a conjunction, it symbolises joining and fastening together, cleaving, and unity. This imagery is deeply woven into the story of the crucifixion, where the “nail” —the physical peg used to fasten Jesus to the cross—becomes a symbol of divine connection. The crucifixion is not a tragic event but a spiritual metaphor for bringing together through love and cleaving —the ultimate joining of assumption and imagination, seen and unseen. This concept beautifully echoes the union described in Genesis 2:24 : “Therefore shal...

The Foundational Symbol: Genesis 2:24 The entire mystery of creation is captured in one early verse: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:24 This verse symbolises more than human marriage . In mystical interpretation, this “ cleaving ” is the act of psychologically nailing an idea so completely in feeling that it must express outwardly . The same union reappears throughout the Bible, most vividly in the crucifixion. Crucifixion: Beyond Suffering The crucifixion of Jesus is often seen as a moment of suffering and sacrifice. Yet when interpreted mystically — especially through Neville Goddard’s teachings — it reveals a secret. In this light, the nails are not symbols of torture but keys to understanding how imagination fixes inner assumptions into reality. The Silent Nails: A Mystical Hint All four Gospels describe the crucifixion briefly and without detail: "They crucified him...

The Hebrew name David (דָּוִד) is not just a name, it's a symbol of conscious creation. Spelled Dalet – Vav – Dalet, David’s name holds deep significance. According to the Mathers table of Hebrew letter correspondences , each letter carries symbolic weight. The two Dalets represent two doors or thresholds of consciousness: the current state and the desired state. Between them stands the Vav — a letter that literally means nail or hook , and serves grammatically as the conjunction and . In other words, Vav is the precise, mechanical force of joining . It is the nail that binds two states into one seamless experience, fusing what is with what is imagined. Love as the Connector But David’s name also means Beloved . This title is no small sentiment — it signifies a person who embodies love as the dynamic, binding force of creation. In Neville Goddard’s teachings, love is the feeling of the wish fulfilled: the emotional certainty that your desire is already a reality in imagina...

Throughout Scripture, the twelve sons of Jacob are not figures of ancestry in a physical sense—they represent twelve developed states of mind forming in the inner man. Just as the twelve disciples later mirror psychological qualities awakened through spiritual development, these sons of Jacob appear in the early narrative as brothers of the soul —each one a distinct aspect of consciousness coming into maturity. They are not outside of you. They are you , forming inwardly, each with a purpose in the unfolding of imagination. In the Bible, Zebulun is not just one of Jacob’s sons —he symbolises a spiritual state. His name, tied to dwelling and honour , reveals the inner moment when we begin to value the subconscious and live in conscious relationship with it. According to Neville Goddard, this is the foundation of all creation—for it is the imagination , operating through feeling, that brings the unseen into form. To dwell with honour is to live from the assumption of the wish fulfi...

Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is not a historical account, but a psychological drama — a symbolic unfolding of the inner world and its divine imagination. Its verses speak in symbols, tracing the movement of consciousness through longing, identity, union, and transformation. One of the most quietly pivotal verses in the entire narrative is Genesis 2:24: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”  "That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which is completely turned to evil desires; And be made new in the spirit of your mind, And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living." — Ephesians 4:22–24 This is not a description of physical marriage . It is the psychological-emotional structure behind every transformation in the Bible. It is a symbolic instruction: To “leave father and mother” means to break fr...

In the rich symbolic language of Hebrew, letters are not merely sounds—they are ideas, energies, and states of consciousness. Neville Goddard, in his teachings on the Bible as psychological drama, often referenced the Hebrew alphabet to unveil the deeper mechanics of manifestation. Nowhere is this clearer than in the structure of the sacred name YHVH (יהוה) and the name David (דוד) —two words that illustrate the full arc of creative assumption. YHVH – The Pattern of Creation YHVH is often translated as “the LORD” in English Bibles, but Neville insisted this name is actually the formula of creation —a pattern embedded in your very consciousness. The four Hebrew letters reveal the movement from invisible thought to visible fact : Yod (י) – A tiny point, a seed, a hand reaching forth. It symbolises the initial desire , the origin of all creation in imagination. This is the spark , the moment you form an intention or entertain a possibility. He (ה) – The window . In Neville’s f...

The Hebrew alphabet holds profound mystical significance, and one of the best-known resources for decoding its secrets is the Mathers Table, compiled by S.L. MacGregor Mathers. This table associates each of the 22 Hebrew letters with specific symbolic meanings, numerical values, and phonetic sounds. Through this framework, the Hebrew alphabet serves as a spiritual map, offering insights into the nature of creation, consciousness, and the divine process. In this article, we will explore the Mathers Table, translating its symbolic meanings into Neville Goddard’s spiritual framework, particularly focusing on how these letters align with principles of manifestation, imagination, and self-transformation. Understanding Key Hebrew Letters and Their Symbolism Aleph (א) — 1 Divine Symbolism: Unity, breath of life. Neville Goddard Meaning: Aleph represents the primordial “I AM,” pure consciousness before form. It’s the silent awareness, the One Life flowing through all. Manifestation begins h...
