The Way

Through the Law of Assumption, Neville Goddard teaches that what you consciously accept as true—regardless of appearances—manifests in your world. The symbol of scarlet, recurring in key biblical moments, becomes a vivid representation of this principle. Scarlet marks a claim, a deliberate assumption, a chosen identity that brings forth a new reality. Scarlet: The Imaginative Force in Action In Neville Goddard’s framework, imagination is the only creative power. When you're imagining—whether in love or fear, faith or doubt—you are assuming. You are wearing scarlet. And in this light, scarlet becomes not a symbol of guilt or shame, but a vivid sign that you have been imagining, that the creative force is active. Levitical Purification Rituals (Leviticus 14) The scarlet wool used in purification rituals represents the active assumption of cleansing and wholeness. Just as the priest physically applies the scarlet thread, the individual must imagine and assume their state as pure and ...

The story of Rahab in Joshua 2 is one of the most radical reversals in the Bible. A harlot, living in the wall of a condemned city, becomes the unlikely agent of divine purpose. Through the perspective of manifestation and the Law of Assumption, her narrative transforms from a historical account into a symbolic blueprint for inner transformation. The name “Rahab” (רָחָב, Rachav ) in Hebrew means “broad,” “spacious,” or “wide”—a fitting image for the subconscious when it opens itself to receive and hold a greater truth. In Neville Goddard’s framework, a harlot represents the imagination or subconscious that has been joined to unworthy ideas—prostituted to outer appearances rather than devoted to inner truth. But this imagery is not to condemn; rather, it reveals the profound power of redemption. The same faculty once misused can become the sacred womb of transformation, the vessel of divine fulfilment, once it embraces the right assumption. Neville taught that your assumptions, persiste...

In Neville Goddard’s teaching, manifestation depends entirely on the assumption of the “I AM” (Exodus 3:14) —the self-identification or feeling of the wish fulfilled impressed upon the subconscious mind. The subconscious is the fertile ground that manifests whatever it faithfully accepts. The Harlot: The Ungoverned, Indiscriminate Subconscious The harlot symbolizes the subconscious mind that gives itself indiscriminately to many conflicting assumptions . Like a prostitute who offers herself without loyalty, the subconscious in this state is unfaithful and unstable. It accepts any thought, belief, or impression—whether empowering or limiting—resulting in a chaotic, scattered reality. This subconscious is ungoverned by a clear “I AM” and thus produces unstable and unwanted manifestations because it has no single guiding assumption. The Scarlet Cord: The Faithful Mental Image The scarlet cord represents the mental image or feeling —the vivid, faithful assumption—that one consciously imp...
