Numbers: Three

Numbers: Three unveils biblical symbolism and the principles of manifestation through the law of Assumption, as taught by Neville Goddard

Camels in the Bible

When we look deeply into the Bible and Hebrew symbolism, the process of " ask, believe, receive " isn’t merely a surface teaching — it’s hidden in a rich network of symbols, including the camel. In the Mathers table of Hebrew Letter correspondences , the letter Gimel (ג) corresponds to the number 3 and is symbolised by the camel (גמל, gamal) . Far more than an animal of transport, the camel embodies the idea of carrying the unseen substance of faith across the wilderness , acting as a bridge between your inner assumption and its outer fulfilment. Camels are famous for storing water , enabling them to cross deserts without apparent struggle. In spiritual symbolism, water represents faith, emotional nourishment, and the life-force that sustains your assumption . This mirrors Genesis 2:6: "But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." Here, the mist symbolises the subconscious rising up to nurture the seed of your desire — the...

Genesis 1: CREATION

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...

“Holy, Holy, Holy”: A Metaphor of Imagination

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.” — Isaiah 6:3 This is not about ritual praise — it is a profound revelation of the imagination. The “ Lord of Hosts ” is not a deity external to man, but the creative power within: the imagination, which commands the invisible hosts of thought, mood, and movement. It is through this power that all things are made. To call it holy three times is to intensify recognition — a building awareness that this faculty, often overlooked, is in fact sacred. Holy means set apart — not by distance, but by nature. Imagination is unseen, yet it is the true cause of everything seen. The triple “holy” is a progressive awakening to its reality and supremacy. Then comes the declaration: “The whole earth is full of His glory.” This is not a poetic flourish — it is a metaphysical truth. The “earth” symbolises the manifest world, and “His glory” is the radiance of what imagination has assumed to be true. He is the assumption ...

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh: The Song of Solomon and the Gifts of Assumption

When the wise men came to Jesus, they brought gifts that echoed deep poetic symbolism: gold, frankincense, and myrrh . These were not arbitrary tributes, but richly symbolic offerings that find their counterparts in the Song of Solomon —that fragrant book of divine longing and inner union. The Song of Solomon’s Perfumed Column In Song of Solomon 3:6 , we read: “Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the merchant’s finest powders?” This is the soul rising through trial and assumption, perfumed with the very same symbols later brought to the Christ child. These aren't just offerings; they are poetic recognitions of the sacred inner transformation. Later, gold appears in radiant description: “His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.” — Song of Solomon 5:11 The soul that has risen from the wilderness of doubt and separation now beholds the beauty of divine identity. T...

The Power of Three: Symbolism of the Spiritual Marriage in Scripture and Imagination

The number three in the Bible is never just a number. It marks a pattern of divine process — a symbolic marriage that results in manifestation. Neville Goddard teaches that this is not external history, but psychological truth : a drama happening within you. Three is the number of the creative act . Where two come together — the conscious and the subconscious — a third is born: the child , the result , the outer experience . Spiritual Union: Conscious + Subconscious = Manifested Reality Neville said the conscious mind is the male aspect: it chooses, directs, and impresses. The subconscious is the female : it receives impressions and gives form to them without questioning. When the two are in alignment — when the feeling of the wish fulfilled is fully accepted — the result is inevitable. This spiritual marriage is the hidden structure behind: The threefold cry of “Holy, holy, holy”: a sacred consummation. The three days before resurrection: the period in which the assumption...
