The Way

Proverbs 7:10–15 describes a scene where a woman, often called the "strange woman" or "adulteress," approaches a young man with seductive and persuasive speech. Here's the passage: “And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.” — Proverbs 7:10–15 (KJV) According to Neville Goddard’s symbolic and psychological interpretation of the Bible, this passage isn't about literal sexual immorality. Instead, it's a parable about the seductive pull of the external world —or more precisely, the temptation to direct imagination toward appearances and sense-data rath...

Divine Wisdom for Daily Manifestation Introduction Proverbs 3 is often read as a father’s advice to a son, but through the spiritual teachings of Neville Goddard, it unfolds as a conversation between the surface mind and the deeper self—the divine imagination. Each verse becomes a psychological instruction, not just for moral living, but for conscious creation. Below, we explore this chapter as a symbolic guide to aligning the heart with the law of assumption, the creative power of “I AM.” 1–2: Keep the Law in the Heart “Forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments...” Neville saw “law” as the law of assumption: that what you feel as true inwardly will become outwardly real. Keeping it in the heart means impressing your desires upon the subconscious through feeling. This inward obedience brings peace and extension of life—not just in time, but in quality. 3–4: Bind Mercy and Truth to Your Being “Let not mercy and truth forsake thee... write them upon the tabl...

Verse 20: “My son, keep your father's command, and do not forsake the law of your mother.” Neville Goddard often speaks of the importance of aligning the conscious and subconscious mind. In this verse, the "father's command" represents the conscious mind , which directs your actions, while the "law of your mother" represents the subconscious mind , where beliefs and emotional patterns are stored. The message here is clear: align both the conscious and subconscious mind with your desired state. When your thoughts (father) and emotions (mother) are in harmony, you can create the life you desire. To manifest effectively, you must constantly keep your imagination in alignment with your true desires, not allowing either your conscious or subconscious mind to stray. Verse 21: “Bind them continually upon your heart, tie them around your neck.” In Neville's teachings, "binding them upon your heart" means internalizing your desires and beliefs so d...

The ninth chapter of Proverbs is a vivid symbolic parable, describing two women: Wisdom and Foolishness . Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is not secular history, but a psychological drama in which characters and actions symbolise internal states. This chapter, then, is a call to examine the consciousness we are currently entertaining —are we dwelling in wisdom (creative awareness), or in folly (reaction and surface thought)? Wisdom Builds Her House (Verses 1–6) “Wisdom has made her house, she has put up her seven pillars.” (v.1) This is the house of disciplined imagination . Seven is the number of spiritual completion. To say Wisdom has built her house is to say that imagination, when stabilised and purified, becomes a solid foundation from which all manifestations arise. It is the state of consciousness that knows the creative law and abides by it . “She has put her beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.” (v.2) “She has sent out her women-servants; h...

The Book of Proverbs, a collection of wisdom sayings in the Bible, is often read for practical guidance. But what if these ancient words contain deeper truths about consciousness, imagination, and the law of assumption? Neville Goddard, a mystic and teacher of spiritual law, taught that the Bible is not just historical or moral instruction, but a psychological drama—an inward guide to the creative power within us. Let us now explore some of the most commonly searched Proverbs and interpret them in light of Neville’s core principles: imagination as God, assumption as the key to manifestation, and the heart as the subconscious mind. Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Neville’s interpretation: To trust in the Lord is to trust in one’s own imagination. Imagination, according to Neville, is the Christ within—your creative power. To lean not on your own understanding means to abandon reliance on sensory facts and appearances. Ins...
