The Way

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 Cleavin...

In Neville Goddard’s interpretation of the Bible, every character and event represents profound principles of consciousness and manifestation. Among these, Aaron and Moses are not historical figures but symbolic aspects of your own mind—your imagination and your spoken expression working together to create your reality. In this post, we’ll explore Aaron’s symbolic role as the voice of manifestation, the high priest of consciousness, and the vital link between your inner world and outer experience. We’ll also examine Moses as the inner creative force, showing how both represent essential parts of your creative process according to Neville’s teachings. Aaron: The Voice of Manifestation Aaron is the faculty of speech and expression . While Moses symbolises your imagination—the inner creative power , Aaron is the outward voice that brings your imaginal creations into the world. Neville teaches that your words are not just communication tools but creative instruments. Aaron reminds us that...

"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 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 and the people of Israel, 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 to serve in the Tabernacle. Neville would interpret these priest...

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...

When the children of Israel - new awareness born from identity change - reach Mount Sinai, something profound takes place—not historically, but symbolically within the realm of consciousness. These verses in Exodus are often read as the beginning of a legal covenant. But through the spiritual teachings of Neville Goddard, we see something deeper: a blueprint for the soul’s elevation into creative awareness. Let’s explore Exodus 19:3–6 as a movement of the inner self from bondage to breakthrough. Verse 3: “Moses went up unto God…” In the language of symbol, Moses represents the developed capacity to hear from within —to commune with the divine identity known as I AM (Ex. 3:14). The mountain  and eagle symbolise spiritual elevation, the inner high place where one becomes aware of truth. When Moses ascends the mountain, it reflects your own act of turning away from the outer world and raising your attention toward a higher state of being. It is in this silence, this spirit...

" 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...

In the unfolding drama of the Bible, Levi—the third son of Jacob and Leah—stands as a quiet yet pivotal symbol. While often overshadowed by the stories of his brothers, when interpreted through the teachings of Neville Goddard , Levi becomes the image of inner consecration , devotion to spiritual law , and the priesthood of consciousness . His legacy, the tribe of Levi, was not given land or glory but something far greater: service to the dwelling place of God —which, as Neville taught, is within you . “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 in which God dwells. Levi, then, is that part of you that tends to the inner world . While other faculties go out to conquer and acquire, the Levite serves : he maintains the rituals of assumption , inner stillness , and conscious attention . H...
