The Way

"If you do well, will you not have honour?" - Genesis 4:7 To honour yourself isn't weakness. It's prophecy. It's power.  Don't laugh! It's true.... "So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?” - Genesis 18:13 The Bible doesn’t tell you to wait on the world’s opinion. It shows you how to step into identity before the evidence arrived. Neville Goddard taught that the world is yourself pushed out — so if you want your reflection to change, you start by assuming the image of who you choose to be. “I AM WHO I AM.” - Exodus 3:14 That assumption, sustained, is praise . And praise isn’t just encouraged in the Bible — it’s central. Judah , whose name means praise , is the tribe through which the Messiah is foretold. This is no accident. The entire arc of transformation begins and unfolds through praise. It is not a reaction to fulfilment — it is the power that births it . Real praise sounds like this: ...

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” — Revelation 5:12 In the haunting beauty of the Book of Revelation, we are presented with a cosmic chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” To the traditional reader, this is a statement about Jesus. But to the awakened reader—one who, like Neville Goddard, understands the Bible as psychological drama—it is far more intimate. This verse is not about a historical figure. It is about you , the individual, and the sacrifice required to become who you choose to be. The Slain Lamb: Your Imagined Self In Neville’s language, the “Lamb” symbolises the assumed identity —that inner image you dare to accept as true. To assume a new state of consciousness is to “slay” the old self. You no longer respond as you once did. You no longer identify with lack, limitation, or defeat. You place your awareness in a new mould and let the old fall away. This is no casual a...

“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 its...

(featuring Judah: the embodiment of Praise, and David: the arrow in motion) It is no accident that the Bible uses archery language to define two key concepts of manifestation: praise and sin . This isn’t surprising when you understand that the Bible is deliberately symbolic —its stories are not historical records, but psychological instruction. Neville Goddard taught that the entire Scripture plays out in the mind of the individual, revealing how we bring forth what we are conscious of being. Praise ( yadah , in Hebrew) means to shoot , to throw , or to cast , especially as one shoots an arrow. Sin in Hebrew, the same idea is present: the word ḥāṭā’ (חָטָא), translated as “sin,” literally means to miss, to miss the mark, to fall short—an archer’s term for failing to hit the target Sin ( hamartia , in Greek) means to miss the mark . This is the precision of Scripture: praise is conscious assumption aimed true; sin is assumption scattered or misdirected. Judah: The State of Pr...

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. In Genesis 49:8–12 , Jacob’s blessing over Judah brims with rich symbolism: a lion’s strength, a royal sceptre, fertile vineyards, and the sweet wine of celebration. This vivid imagery echoes deeply in the Song of Solomon , whose language paints love and desire with lush, sensory detail. Through Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption , thes...

Neville Goddard famously taught that the essence of creation lies in feeling : “Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.” Many interpret this as a call to gratitude and humility. While gratitude is part of the path, Neville’s deeper insight — illuminated beautifully in Scripture — is about entering and living the feeling of identity and dominion itself . The feeling that the Song of Solomon so vividly captures is the very state Neville pointed to as the secret. At the heart of this story is Judah , symbolised as the lion and the holder of the sceptre. He is the ‘He’ of the Song, the beloved, the one with whom the soul—the bride—unites. This union is not abstract; it is intense adoration, a feeling so rich it becomes a lived reality. Consider this declaration of mutual possession: “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.” (Song 6:3) This is the perfect picture of Neville’s “feeling is the secret.” It is the felt experience of belonging fully to a sta...

Praise is far more than simple gratitude or ritual expression—it is the living, creative energy that animates desire into fulfilment. In the Bible, praise manifests dynamically, especially in the Song of Solomon where the Beloved and the Bride praise one another, reflecting the deep union of consciousness with its imagined reality. This mutual adoration embodies the “ I AM ” (Ex 3:14) awareness of being that Neville Goddard describes as the imaginative force within us. Judah, whose name means “praise,” symbolises this powerful state of being: the heartfelt acknowledgement of the fulfilled desire that sustains and reigns over the inner kingdom of awareness. Through the lens of Neville Goddard’s teachings, praise is the essential vibration that locks in manifestation. The Song of Solomon: Praise in the Union of Beloved and Bride The Song of Solomon is a poetic dialogue of love and affirmation, where the Bride and Beloved openly praise and declare their unity and identity. Their w...

In Genesis 49, Jacob’s blessing upon Judah resounds with symbolic majesty: “Judah is a lion’s whelp... the sceptre shall not depart from Judah.” Traditionally seen as a prophecy of kingship, Judah -- meaning "to praise" in Hebrew -- represents something far greater: the power of praise as sovereign adoration —and the dominion that arises when one reverently assumes a new identity. Praise, in this deeper reading, is not flattery or performance. It is a quiet inner exaltation —an act of profound respect and trust in the unseen reality already accepted within. Like the voice of the bridegroom in the Song of Solomon , it carries a tone of steady delight , of one who honours what has been inwardly chosen and calls it good. This form of praise is not merely an emotional response; it is a conscious act of enthronement . It crowns the assumed state, the I AM, placing the sceptre in its hand. It does not beg or bargain—it recognises and reveres . It says inwardly, “This is true. Thi...

In the quiet depths of the heart, the power of creation stirs. It is not a mere organ of feeling but a divine workshop, the very source of imagination, where all things are conceived before they are made manifest. The heart is the garden of the soul, where the seed of every thought, vision, and dream is planted, nurtured, and brought to life. "I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord" (Jeremiah 24:7, BBE). The heart is not just a vessel for feelings but a sacred space where knowing and creation intertwine. It is where God’s creative imagination is planted in us — not merely to know in the mind but to feel and envision with the heart. This knowing is the gateway to manifestation, for from the heart flows all that we create. The Heart as the Wellspring of Life and Imagination "Keep your heart with all care; for it is the source of life" (Proverbs 4:23, BBE). Every thought, every vision, every desire — these are born in the heart. As we guard the hea...

The story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11–19 is often interpreted as a lesson in gratitude and healing. However, through Neville Goddard’s teachings, it reveals deeper insights into the inner workings of manifestation, the decay of imagination, and the transformative power of praise and gratitude. The Symbolism of the Number Ten In biblical symbolism, the number 10 represents completion—a full cycle. The ten lepers embody a fragmented state of consciousness, symbolising the scattered, disconnected aspects of the mind. Each leper reflects a different facet of the psyche, separate from its true, whole self—mirroring the fragmentation of thought and identity that arises when we are disconnected from our creative power. Goddard’s teachings suggest that true healing begins from within. The number 10 reflects the totality of these fragmented states of mind, and the healing process involves returning to wholeness. Just as the tithe symbolises returning a portion of wealth to its source, the...

In the Bible, praise is more than just an act of worship—it’s a principle deeply woven throughout the scriptures, affirming the divine power within us. The phrase "He shall be praised" serves as a reminder that our creative power, often represented by imagination, deserves our recognition. This concept is especially evident in the Psalms, which are not only hymns of praise but also key tools that reinforce the principle of praise running through the entire Bible. Neville Goddard teaches that imagination is our divine tool for manifestation. When we praise, we affirm this inner power, recognising it as the force that shapes our reality. The Psalms, with their repeated expressions of praise, are placed in the Bible to guide us in embracing this principle. They show us how to acknowledge and celebrate the divine presence within, teaching us that through praise, we align ourselves with our creative potential. The Psalms are more than prayers—they are powerful affirmations that g...

Throughout the Bible, music and dancing accompany some of the most powerful scenes of transformation, restoration, and celebration. But beneath the surface, these elements speak not just of outward events—but of inner spiritual processes. According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not secular history but a spiritual manual written in symbolic language, showing how imagination shapes reality. In that light: Music symbolises the tuning of the imagination—aligning the inner world to the desired state. Dancing symbolises praise—the spontaneous expression that bursts forth when the state is fully accepted as real. Together, they represent the complete arc of manifestation: from inner harmony to outward joy. I. Music as the Tuning of Imagination “But now bring me a minstrel.” And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. — 2 Kings 3:15 (KJV) When the prophet Elisha needed revelation, he didn’t begin with action—he asked for music. The musi...
