Priesthood Series unveils biblical symbolism and the principles of manifestation through the law of Assumption, as taught by Neville Goddard

The Bible’s Golden Thread: Union with the New Assumption

If the Bible teaches anything repeatedly, it is this: you must join yourself— cleave —and ' fixate ' to the new state of being . Over and over, through symbols, poetry, law, and ritual, the message is clear: your transformation begins when you commit in love to your chosen assumption , allowing no separation between it and yourself. This is the entire spiritual structure hidden in Genesis 2:24 : “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 is not about two people—it is about you . The “ man ” is the conscious awareness . The “wife” and bride is the state desired. To cleave is to cling with full attachment, to refuse to be divided from the new identity. Marriage in Scripture is always symbolic: it represents the joining of your awareness (I AM) with your assumption, through fidelity, love, and inward commitment. It is not passive acceptance—it is conscious union. The entire tribe of...

Levi and the Levites: Ritual Cleaving and Joining

The Bible is rich with layers of symbolism, where names, tribes, and stories represent states of consciousness and spiritual processes. Among these, the tribe of Levi, the priestly Levites, and the high priest Aaron carry deep metaphysical meaning tied to the concept of “joining” or “attachment.” Exploring this symbolism reveals a profound spiritual narrative culminating in Jesus’ role as the ultimate unifier — a theme of reunion and wholeness echoed in his crucifixion . Levi: The Meaning of “Joined” or “Attached” The name Levi (לֵוִי) derives from a Hebrew root meaning “joined” or “attached.” Levi, the third son of Jacob , became the ancestor of the Levites, Israel’s priestly tribe. The root idea of joining is symbolically significant: it evokes connection, unity, and relationship — essential elements of love and spiritual communion. The concept of joining underpins love’s essence. To love is to cleave , to unite distinct parts into a harmonious whole. The Ancient Power of Cleaving: ד...

Moses and Aaron: The Priesthood Of Ritual Cleaving

In Neville Goddard’s interpretation of the Bible, every character represents a psychological state or faculty within you — not a literal person in history. Moses and Aaron are two symbolic aspects of your own mind, working together to shape and express your assumptions, which then create your reality. Moses: The Creative Power of Imagination Moses symbolises your imagination — the creative screen of space that conceives your desires. It is in imagination that all things begin. As Neville teaches, “Imagining creates reality,” and Moses represents that inner movement where you dare to assume a new state. Aaron: The Expression and Outward Assumption Aaron, as Moses’ brother and spokesman, symbolises your spoken word and outer expression — the bridge between the imaginal act and its physical appearance. According to Neville, your words reflect and reinforce your inner assumptions. When Moses (imagination) “puts words” into Aaron’s mouth (Exodus 4:15-16), this illustrates that your ima...

Fit for the Holy Place: Exodus 39 and the Structure of Assumed Identity

"And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold… and wrote upon it… HOLINESS TO THE LORD.”  Exodus 39 majestically details the making of the priestly garments, a passage often overlooked as historical record. Yet when viewed through the spiritual teachings of Neville Goddard—who emphasised the power of assumption and imagination—these garments become rich symbols of consciousness, identity, and the inner transformation required to manifest our desires. This commentary explores each section of the chapter not as an ancient ritual, but as a blueprint for dressing the inner man in the qualities of the fulfilled wish. Through fabric, colour, and craftsmanship, Exodus 39 reveals how we weave the reality we live. Exodus 39:1 – The Service Garments Are Woven “And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place…” (v. 1) Blue reflects the imagination’s clear vision of the unseen. Purple (a blend of blue and red) symbo...

The Evolution of the Priesthood: Ritual to Embodiment

The priesthood in the Bible is a powerful symbol of our evolving relationship with imagination—our inner creative power that Neville Goddard identifies as God. By comparing the Old Testament priesthood with the New Testament priesthood that follows Jesus, we uncover profound parallels and shifts in consciousness that reflect the journey from subconscious ritual to conscious manifestation. Old Testament Priests: Aaron and the Levites as Mediators In the Old Testament, Aaron is appointed the first high priest, and the tribe of Levi is dedicated to priestly service (Exodus 28:1, Numbers 3:5–10). Their role is to mediate between God (pure awareness) and the people of Israel (formational response to the law of Assumption) , maintaining the Tabernacle rituals and purity laws (Leviticus 8–10). Key Passages: Exodus 28:1 — “Bring Aaron your brother... to serve me as priest.” Leviticus 16 — The Day of Atonement ritual, cleansing the people of sin. Numbers 8:14 — The Levites are given...

The Rhythm of Moses: The Introduction of Priesthood

There is a powerful rhythm running through the story of Moses: a man repeatedly ascending and descending a mountain to commune with God. On the surface, this reads as a dramatic narrative of obedience, law-giving, and divine encounter. Yet when viewed through Neville Goddard’s teachings—where imagination is God and the Bible symbolises states of consciousness—this movement reveals itself as a profound metaphor for the process of manifestation. Moses’ repeated climbs up Mount Sinai reflect the inner journey of anyone consciously creating their reality. The Mountain as a Symbol of Consciousness In biblical symbolism, a mountain represents an elevated state of awareness. To ascend is to rise above the distractions of the outer world—fear, doubt, and reaction—and enter the sacred inner sanctuary of imagination. Neville taught that imagination is not mere fantasy but the very power of God, the “I AM.” Thus, when Moses climbs Mount Sinai, he symbolically withdraws from the world of senses an...

Moses Went Up to God: Exodus 19:3-6

When the children of Israel — symbolising new awareness born from a change in self-identity — reach Mount Sinai, something unfolds. This is not a historical covenant but a psychological one for the elevation into imaginative awareness, as Neville Goddard taught. Through Exodus 19:3–6, we see the movement from bondage to breakthrough within consciousness — the shift from outer dependence to inner realisation of “ I AM .” Exodus 19:3 — “Moses went up to God” “And Moses went up to God, and the Lord said to him from the mountain, Say to the children of Jacob and to the children of Israel:” Exodus 19:3 In symbolism, Moses represents your developed ability to hear the inner voice — to commune with the “ I AM ” (Exodus 3:14). The mountain is the high place of consciousness; the eagle symbolises the vision and flight of imagination. When Moses ascends the mountain, it reflects your own act of turning away from the senses and lifting your attention to a higher state — where you hear true in...

Rod, Staff and Sceptre: Authority in Assumption

" Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." These words from Psalm 23 are often quoted, yet rarely unpacked with the depth they deserve. In the light of Neville Goddard’s teachings, particularly the Law of Assumption, the rod and staff emerge not as physical tools but as rich symbols of inner power, direction, and mastery over the subconscious . The Rod: The Authority of Assumption A rod in biblical imagery is a sceptre—a symbol of kingship, dominion, and declared authority . Neville teaches that the Law of Assumption operates through the sustained and disciplined claiming of a state. When you assume a new identity with full conviction, you wield the rod. It is the firm inner stance that says, “This is who I am now,” regardless of what the senses may report. The rod is not used to plead or negotiate; it commands. It is the conscious directive you give to imagination , the affirmation that refuses to be double-minded. When Moses stretches out his rod over the sea, it par...

Levi: “I AM Your Heritage” — The Inner Priesthood in Scripture

In the Bible’s symbolic drama, Levi — the third son and formative tribe of Jacob and Leah — represents your inner priesthood: the part of you devoted to guarding and caring for your imagination, which is the true dwelling place of God. “This is what is to be done by the Levites: from twenty-five years old and over, they are to do the work of caring for the Tent of meeting.” (Numbers 8:24, BBE) The “Tent of Meeting” or tabernacle symbolises your imagination — the sacred space where your assumptions are formed. The Levite within you tends this inner sanctuary. While other aspects of mind look outward for results, Levi stays within, maintaining inner stillness and alignment. He watches over your assumptions and ensures they remain true to what you desire. “I AM your heritage and your part among the children of Israel.” (Numbers 18:20, BBE) The Levites had no external inheritance; their reward was the Lord Himself. Neville would interpret this as realising that your true inheritanc...
