“The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.”  — Colossians 4:18 Let me tell you, when Paul says “Remember my chains,” he isn’t just asking for sympathy—he’s giving us a key to inner transformation. To a surface reader, this verse might seem like a simple closing—a personal sign-off from a man in prison. But through the symbolic understanding Neville Goddard brings to the Bible, we begin to see something deeper. Paul represents the awakened imagination —the part of us that recognises its creative power, that knows consciousness is the only reality. When Paul writes with his own hand, he is asserting authorship—just as we, through imagination, must take full responsibility for the states we occupy. And his request to “remember my chains” becomes a powerful psychological symbol: a reminder of the inner bondage we experience when we try to move into a new state of being while still tethered to the old. These “chains” are the doubts, habit...

"Let no man beguile you of your reward..." — Colossians 2:18 This phrase from Paul’s letter to the Colossians is often skimmed over in theological discussions. But when read through the spiritual teachings of Neville Goddard, it reveals something far more immediate and practical. Neville taught that the Bible is a psychological drama — not a record of historical events, but a map of the soul. Every verse can be read as a message to the individual about the creative power of their imagination. In this context, the “reward” is not a heavenly prize postponed until death. It is the manifestation of the state you have dared to assume. Paul is saying: do not let anyone talk you out of what you’ve imagined. Do not let outer voices or religious systems seduce you away from your assumption. The Law of Assumption works by persistence, not permission. False Humility: The Enemy of Assumption "In a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he ...

A Neville Goddard Interpretation of Colossians 3:1–17 Paul’s message in Colossians 3 is not moralistic advice—it is mystical instruction for consciously assuming a new identity. Neville Goddard would read this chapter as a psychological roadmap for leaving behind the old man—the self ruled by appearances—and stepping into the new self, the man who knows imagination creates reality. Verses 1–2 “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” “Above” refers not to a physical sky or distant paradise, but to a higher state of consciousness. Heaven is the realm of imagination. It is where all things are conceived before they appear. “Being raised with Christ” means awakening to the truth that your own imagination is Christ , and to live in that elevated state by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. To “set your mind on things ab...
