The Way

“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” — Ephesians 5:32 Ephesians 5 has long been a focal point in debates about the roles of men and women in relationships. With phrases like “ Wives , submit to your husbands ” and “Husbands, love your wives,” it’s easy to see why traditional interpretations have led to rigid and often harmful views of gender roles. Paul specifically calls it a  mystery , so what if these scriptures were never about gender dynamics at all? What if Paul wasn’t speaking of human marriage, but revealing a profound spiritual structure—the inner mechanics of creation and transformation? Through the symbolic understanding found in Neville Goddard’s teachings, this chapter becomes a map of inner alchemy. The “husband” and “wife” are not people—they are states of being . The passage is not social commentary but a metaphysical mystery , rooted in Genesis and revealed through the union of awareness and imagination. Literal vs Symboli...

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible is often misinterpreted as a tale of divine punishment for immorality, particularly targeting the LGBTQ+ community. However, seen through Neville Goddard’s understanding of consciousness and imagination , the story becomes a  metaphor for the transformation of the mind. At its heart is the revelation of creative power—and the initial resistance to it. The narrative symbolises the burning away of old, fixed beliefs and the emergence of a new way of thinking, one that aligns with creative freedom and delight in the imagination. The Discovery of Manifestation: Abraham and Sarah as States of Awareness Abraham and Sarah represent symbolic states of consciousness within the individual. They are not historical figures but inner postures—states that wrestle with belief, imagination, and the limits imposed by reason or experience. The biblical promise that Abraham will become the father of many nations is a metaphor for the birth of expanded pos...

Neville Goddard didn’t teach New Age fluff. He taught the Bible. He simply took it out of the dusty pews and placed it where it belongs: in the mind, the imagination, and the unfolding of life itself. Every parable, every figure, every action—symbolic. And when interpreted correctly, it reveals the law by which everything in your world is made: assumption. Right now, the public eye is ablaze with the collapse of figures once considered untouchable. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Russell Brand, Prince Andrew—and now Gerard Depardieu—are all, to varying degrees and in different legal contexts, under scrutiny for alleged acts of abuse and misconduct—particularly toward women. And while the judicial systems must do what they do, let’s look through a different structure: the symbolic map of the Bible as explained by Goddard, and the law that underpins all creation. The Law of Assumption: Your Inner King Neville taught that your inner world creates your outer world. What you assume to be true o...

The recent election of a new Pope offers a striking parallel to the story of Israel’s choice of King Saul. Both events reflect the tendency to seek external authority rather than trusting in the creative power of imagination and the inner guidance we all have access to. Israel's Choice: Relying on the External Instead of Imagination In 1 Samuel 8, the Israelites, dissatisfied with the judges, asked for a king to rule over them, despite God's warning about the consequences of such a choice. They wanted a visible, physical leader like the other nations, rather than trusting in the internal guidance they had through their relationship with God. Although God allowed their request, He made it clear that placing their faith in an external king would bring burdens (1 Samuel 8:19-20). From Neville Goddard’s perspective, this moment represents the outer mind’s tendency to look outward for leadership and validation. Rather than recognising the power of imagination and the creative for...

For centuries, traditional religious interpretations of the Bible have focused on a literal understanding, often creating divides between those who follow the "one true God" and others who practice different forms of spirituality. This view has historically condemned practices like paganism, fortune-telling, and other spiritual beliefs. However, Neville Goddard offers a different perspective, revealing the Bible not as a tool for judgment, but as a guide to understanding the immense creative power within us all. Neville Goddard’s Interpretation of the Bible Neville Goddard did not create a new system but interpreted the Bible as a symbolic guide to understanding the creative power of imagination. Rather than seeing the Bible as a literal historical document or a strict moral guide, Neville saw it as a story about how imagination shapes our reality. The Bible teaches that imagination is the true power behind creation, and we can harness it to manifest our desires. The Problem ...

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." — Genesis 1:26 In today’s hyperconnected world, we live in a constant stream of visual noise pictures. Social media, video platforms, digital ads—they feed us image after image, moment after moment, until our minds are saturated. We have become passive recipients in a world built on distraction. But in the Bible, man was made in the image of God —and this is not a physical resemblance, but a functional one: the ability to imagine, to conceive, and to create . Neville Goddard often taught that imagination is not a faculty we merely use—it is God in action within us. Genesis 1:26 reveals this foundational truth: to be made in God's image is to possess the creative power of consciousness . What God is on the cosmic scale, man is on the individual scale—a being capable of forming the unseen and making it seen. The irony of our age is that while the mind was made to stream from within , we now let it stream ...

In Neville Goddard’s interpretation, the Bible serves as a symbolic map of consciousness, unveiling the inner workings of the human mind through the stories of its characters. When we apply this lens to Donald Trump’s presidency, we can observe how his actions and rhetoric closely mirror figures from the Bible—particularly Cain , King Saul , and even the Beast . Each of these biblical figures represents different states of mind and levels of consciousness, offering a fascinating perspective on Trump’s leadership. His presidency, characterised by defiance, ego-driven actions, and frequent chaos, provides a striking parallel to the struggles of these figures within the broader context of the Bible. Cain: The Outer Man and the Struggle with the Inner Will In Neville Goddard’s teachings, Cain symbolises the outer man —the part of us driven by surface-level desires, ego, and external validation . Cain’s story represents the inner conflict between the deeper, imaginative forces (represen...

Can we talk about how men translated the Bible and somehow missed the memo that the entire thing is written in symbolic language? They took metaphors meant for inner transformation and turned them into historical events and rules. It’s almost laughable—if it weren’t so devastating. Stories that were meant to awaken the divine imagination became tools for control. And why? Because the people holding the pen couldn’t grasp that the subconscious speaks in symbols. They read it with a literal mind—because they hadn’t cultivated the feminine side of their own being. Let’s be real: symbolic thinking has always been aligned with femininity. It’s receptive, intuitive, inward. It’s the subconscious, the imagination, the womb of creation. But guess what was also denied for centuries? Women’s access to education. To the scriptures. To interpretation . What a coincidence. If women had been allowed to read, to teach, to interpret—we might’ve seen the Bible for what it really is: a spiritual ma...

Recently, I’ve been watching the ceremonial laying in state of Pope Francis, observing the rituals that have become a central part of religious tradition. While there’s a certain solemnity to these events, I couldn’t help but think: how did these external practices of ritual grandeur overshadow the vivid imagery and symbolism that the Bible was meant to convey? Through the lens of Neville Goddard’s teachings , the Bible is not a historical account but a psychological manual —a guide to understanding the creative power of the imagination . The true essence of the Bible lies not in external rituals but in its symbolism, which points to states of consciousness , inner transformation , and the manifestation of our desires. Neville often emphasised that the Bible’s stories are metaphors for mental states and spiritual evolution, showing us how we can create our own reality through the power of imagination. Yet, over time, religious institutions have focused more on rituals and ceremoni...

So, I’ve decided to assume a new state of being. I’m leaving behind my old Facebook account (and all its embarrassing posts) and starting fresh. I mean, why not? I’m practically a new person, right? Well, apparently Facebook doesn’t agree. Facebook Thinks I’m Suspicious (And Not in a Cool Way) I closed my old account to make space for the new me—brand new, no baggage, all positive vibes. But when I tried to open my shiny, new Facebook profile, I was met with a cold, digital “Suspicious Activity Detected” message. Facebook’s not convinced I’m actually a real person, let alone a fresh identity. It's like when you try to manifest your dream life, and the universe sends you a “Hey, not so fast!” notice. “Show me proof that you’re ready to be the awesome version of yourself,” the world says. Facebook wants to see my “identity verification” and my “proof of transformation.” Spoiler alert: I'm still waiting. Facebook: The Lord of the Flies of Social Media Let’s be real—Faceboo...

Forget the Chip Implants and Apocalyptic Nightmares—Let’s Talk About the Real Mark of the Beast: Your Thoughts The mark of the beast. It’s one of the Bible’s most dramatic and mysterious images, often associated with fire, brimstone, and some sort of impending doom. If you’re imagining a high-tech tattoo, a glowing barcode on your forehead, or even a conspiracy theory involving microchips, you’re not alone. But let’s step away from all the sci-fi and apocalyptic fear-mongering and take a fresh look at this symbol, free from literal interpretations. When viewed through Neville Goddard’s teachings, the "mark of the beast" is something far more personal—and far more empowering. The Beast's Mark: A Self-Inflicted Wound Neville Goddard didn’t view the mark of the beast as some sinister external stamp. Instead, he saw it as something deeply psychological: the self-inflicted wounds we make on our imagination. Our minds are powerful tools, designed to create the life we desire—bu...

Picture this: Neville Goddard, with his ever-present understanding of the power of imagination, watches as we scroll endlessly through TikTok. “My dear friends,” he’d gently remind us, “you’re doing it all wrong.” Here’s the deal—doomscrolling is essentially like trying to find a state of being to assume by aimlessly flipping through the endless, random collection of videos on your feed. You’re hoping that one will spark joy, inspiration, or at least a chuckle. But in reality? You’re not imagining your best life. Instead, you’re allowing TikTok to set the tone for your emotions. Not exactly Neville-approved. Instead of letting some random clip about a ‘life hack’ decide how you feel, Neville would tell you: assume the state of the person you want to be. You won’t manifest your ideal reality by watching endless tutorials on how to make a cake levitate (as fun as that sounds). No, you’ve got to feel yourself in that state of success and abundance before it shows up in your life. So...

Let’s get one thing straight: humans are obsessed with image. Not just the perfectly filtered photos on your feed, but the image you project to the world. The clothes, the car, the perfectly posed photos—everyone’s in the game of “look at me, I’ve got it all figured out.” But here’s where the Bible comes in and says, “Nah, fam, the real image that matters is the one inside.” The Bible’s Ultimate Image Advice: Focus Inside, Not Outside Luke 17:21 is pretty clear about this: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Translation? Your external world? It’s just a reflection of what’s happening on the inside. So stop stressing about looking perfect, curating your life for Instagram, or trying to control every little thing around you. The magic is in your inner world. You get that right, and everything else starts falling into place. Matthew 6:33 adds some serious wisdom: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Translation: Forget trying to manage yo...

The pervasive influence of literal interpretation in today's society highlights how deeply held beliefs—whether religious, societal, or personal—can become controlling forces in our lives. These beliefs, often accepted without question, can restrict our potential and limit our understanding of reality. This, ironically, mirrors the very themes presented in the Bible: the struggle against external forces that confine us, the need to break free from limiting beliefs, and the awakening of the inner self . The Literal and Symbolic: A Divided Approach The Bible contains both literal accounts of historical events and symbolic stories that reveal profound truths about the nature of consciousness and personal transformation. However, many people today continue to approach the Bible with a literal mindset , missing its deeper, symbolic meanings that can guide us toward inner freedom. Egypt: A Symbol of Mental Bondage In the Bible, Egypt is often depicted as a place of mental sl...

Because obviously, we know better… We’ve All Done It Let’s be honest: if life came with a manual, most of us would use it as a coaster. Or lose it under the sofa with that one sock, seven pens, and your will to exercise. And yet— plot twist —it does come with a manual. A deep, ancient, metaphor-packed, wildly symbolic, occasionally confusing, and definitely misused one: the Bible. The Manual, Misread But instead of reading it like the rich spiritual blueprint it is, most people either: Treat it like a rulebook from a cranky cosmic parent Avoid it entirely because “Leviticus said something weird once” Use it as a prop in dramatic Facebook arguments Only open it when trying to look spiritual while low-key judging someone Not Just Sandals and Smiting Here’s the truth: the Bible isn’t just about sandals, smiting, or suspicious fish dinners. It’s a manual for consciousness . A map for navigating the mind. A poetic codebook for manifestation, imagination, healing, a...

“God is spirit: and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24 A Reflection on the Loss of the Living Presence Not through malice—but through misunderstanding. Much of mainstream Christianity has unintentionally turned the living presence of God into a remote figure—someone seated far off in the heavens, detached from the daily experience of man. By placing God outside of the individual, it has made Him unreachable, unknowable, and conditional. In doing so, it has killed the immediate God —the God who, as Neville Goddard and the mystics understood, lives within . The Real Culprit? A Literal Reading of Scripture This is not simply a critique of tradition, but a call to reawaken the meaning behind it. The true weapon in this unintentional crucifixion of God is a literal interpretation of the Bible. By reading Scripture as external history instead of psychological symbolism, the church has transformed the Bible into a book about other people —long ago and...

Embracing True Identity: A Shift in Consciousness for Trans Acceptance In a world that often defines us by labels—whether gender, race, or social status—many struggle to fully express who they truly are. Yet, Neville Goddard’s interpretation of a powerful Bible verse from Galatians 3:28 offers a transformative perspective that can help society embrace everyone, including trans individuals, for their true essence. The Bible Verse: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Neville Goddard understood this verse as a reminder that our true identity is not defined by external categories, but by the consciousness within. In the realm of imagination—the creative power of God—we transcend distinctions like gender and race. Imagination and Identity For Neville, imagination is the creative force shaping our experience. Our thoughts and beliefs manifest outwardly. Trans individuals, like all of us, have ...

The belief that men should lead the family often stems from a literal interpretation of the Bible , particularly verses like Ephesians 5:23 ("For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church"). However, when seen through the lens of Neville Goddard's teachings , these verses take on a much deeper, symbolic meaning. Literal vs. Symbolic Interpretation Neville saw the Bible as a map of consciousness , not a historical text. In this light, "headship" is not about external authority but about the dominance of imagination and spiritual awareness. The "husband" represents the inner self or consciousness , rather than a physical man. True leadership, therefore, comes from the ability to control and direct your imagination and beliefs . Family as Thoughts and Beliefs In Neville's interpretation, the family isn't just the people we live with; it refers to the thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions we hold within our consciou...

Growing up, my mother was heavily focused on appearances, constantly striving to keep up with the latest trends. She followed a version of Christianity that emphasised how others saw her—how she looked and how she was perceived. This focus on external validation often left me feeling invisible. I was constantly expected to meet the standards set by others, rather than being encouraged to discover and express who I truly was. In fact, there was a time when I jokingly thought I’d been raised on a set from Keeping Up Appearances . You know, the sitcom where the character Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet", of course) was always going to extreme lengths to make sure she appeared perfectly in front of others. My mother had a similar flair for outward appearances—her fixation on social status and how things looked from the outside was almost comical at times. There was always this pressure to be perfect and conform, just like Hyacinth, but behind the scenes, I often felt unseen—...

Have you ever shared something empowering and clarifying only to be met with total confusion or, even more humorously, an outright rebuke ? If you’ve ever tried to introduce Neville Goddard’s interpretation of the Bible to someone who holds a more traditional view, you might know exactly what I mean. And let me tell you—some of the reactions I’ve had are as funny as they are revealing. The First Reaction: “I Rebuke You in the Name of Jesus!” Now, I wasn’t expecting everyone to just accept Neville’s teachings and say, "Yes, that makes total sense." But I was a little surprised at how often the first thing I’d hear when sharing Neville’s ideas was: “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus!” It’s kind of funny, isn’t it? Here I am, sharing a perspective I find incredibly empowering —that imagination is the creative power , and that the Bible is a symbolic guidebook to awakening—and I’m met with, well, a rebuke . At first, I didn’t understand it. But the more I thought about it, th...
