The Way

Either decay (Nabal) or regeneration (Judah into the Messiah’s lineage) The Bible is not a record of ancient history, but a map of the soul. When approached symbolically — as Neville Goddard taught — it reveals not external events, but inner movements. It chronicles the unfoldment of consciousness: the interplay of belief, resistance, submission, and transformation within the individual. This exploration follows a subtle thread woven through the sheep imagery in Scripture : Nabal and Judah during sheep-shearing, and the prophetic words from Isaiah 53 , echoed in Acts 8 — “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter…” At first glance, these moments may seem unrelated. But under the law of the subject — that all is within, and every character is a state of consciousness — they form a coherent and revelatory pattern. Beyond Flocks and Feasts: What Is Truly Sheared? We are invited to look past the surface of flocks and feasts, beyond the silence of the lamb, to see what is really be...

“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...

Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is a symbolic map of consciousness and imagination. At its core, the “I AM” state — awareness of being — is the creative power behind all manifestation. When we understand biblical stories this way, passages like John 10 and Song of Solomon reveal profound insights into how our inner states open or close the door to the reality we experience. John 10: The Door and the Shepherd In John 10:7-9, Jesus says: "I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." Here, the door symbolises a conscious state — the gateway through which the imagined self enters experience. The sheep represent different states of consciousness or subconsciousness. Entering through the door is a voluntary choice to align with imagination’s creative power. Song of Solomon: The Door, the Latch, and the Beloved Song of Solomon 5:4 presents a delicate image: "My beloved put his hand into the latch of the door, and ...

“Then the man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man.’” —Genesis 2:23 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” —Genesis 2:24 The stories of Rebekah and Rachel, each meeting their future husbands at a well, are profound enactments of the spiritual union celebrated throughout the Bible. This sacred joining is the heartbeat of the Song of Solomon—the timeless poetic dance of bride and bridegroom, symbolising the soul’s yearning for and fulfilment in divine union. Wells and Rivers: Sources of Life, Abundance, and Spiritual Encounter The river that goes out to water the garden is called Abundance. It is the source that flows from the two trees. These waters nourish and feed many wells—among them the very wells where Rebekah and Rachel first appear. Such places are steeped in symbolism as sources of life, refreshment, and revelation. In ancient t...

The Passover story in the Bible is a powerful symbol of spiritual awakening , transformation , and liberation . For Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a literal history, but a collection of symbols that point to deeper truths about the nature of reality and the human spirit. The Passover —the event where the Israelites are freed from slavery in Egypt —offers profound insights into how we can transform our lives and move from bondage to freedom through the power of imagination. The Exodus: Moving from Bondage to Freedom In the Passover story, the Israelites are instructed to sacrifice a lamb , and to place its blood on their doorposts so that the Angel of Death will pass over their homes and spare their firstborns. This marks the final plague that forces Pharaoh to release the Israelites from their enslavement in Egypt. The blood on the doorposts is a sign of protection and deliverance , and it signals the end of their physical and spiritual oppression. For Neville, this act ...

The Lamb and the Shepherd: A Neville Goddard-Inspired Reflection on Inner Sacrifice and Awakening Throughout the Bible, the lamb is a powerful and recurring symbol, often associated with innocence, sacrifice, and divine favour. But when viewed through the teachings of Neville Goddard, the image of the lamb takes on a deeper, more inward meaning—one that challenges traditional interpretations and invites us to reflect on the nature of self, imagination, and spiritual transformation. The First Offering: Cain and Abel The very first mention of a lamb-like offering appears in the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 . Abel, we’re told, brings to the Lord “the firstborn of his flock,” a gesture that finds favour. Cain, meanwhile, brings an offering of the ground, which is not accepted in the same way. “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door” (Genesis 4:7). This passage, when seen through Neville’s interpretation, is not about di...
