The Way

Following the great cleansing and renewal symbolised by Noah’s flood  in Genesis 6–9 —which represents the clearing away of old, faulty assumptions and mental clutter—the gathering of thoughts in the mind called the children of men are faced with a choice: to continue building reality through toil, effort, and external labour ,  or to fully focus on the law of Assumption The "children of men " symbolise the ordinary, ungoverned thoughts a person holds before they learn and apply the Law of Assumption. These thoughts are simple, reactive, and shaped by outer appearances rather than inner direction. Only when one begins to elevate their inner self-concept and assume new states do these scattered "children" transform into purposeful creations, reflecting the true creative power within. The children of men are soon retitled Israel , and as the reader progresses, are ultimately addressed the ' church ' in Paul's letters. The Children of Men Still Building th...

In the opening chapters of Genesis, the name Elohim introduces God not simply as a singular being, but as a plural term signifying “gods,” “judges,” “rulers,” and “mighty powers.” Despite this plurality, Elohim—God —acts as one unified creative force. Neville Goddard’s teachings reveal that Elohim symbolises the manifold faculties within the human imagination—the many “voices,” assumptions, and states of consciousness that collectively shape reality. This is why God is sometimes called the Lord of Hosts . This understanding connects deeply with the biblical concept of “tongues” , often misunderstood as literal foreign languages, but in truth representing the inner speech and assumptions flowing from the imaginative mind. Neville taught that our world is a mirror of the silent conversations we hold with ourselves—the “tongues” of our imagination. Elohim: The Many Within the One The plural form Elohim reflects the diversity within your consciousness —the judges and rulers inside that ...

Exploring Neville Goddard's Double Structure of Imagination One of the more mysterious, often overlooked implications in Neville Goddard’s teaching is this: God is imagining us, and we are imagining ourselves . This isn't a contradiction. In fact, it forms the very framework of Neville’s psychological reading of Scripture—where God is not some external being, but your own wonderful human imagination . Let’s unpack this dual structure. God as Imagination: The Original Dreamer Neville repeatedly said, “God and man are one.” Not because man is equal in personality or power to some external deity, but because man’s very consciousness is divine in origin. “Man is all imagination. Therefore, man must be where he is in imagination, for his imagination is himself.” — Neville Goddard, Out of this World God is not a man in the sky. God is the I AM —the root awareness behind all states, the first principle of being. In this view, God becomes man, descends into individuality ,...

According to Neville Goddard, the Bible is not a historical document but a symbolic revelation of how consciousness operates. It maps the inner structure of creation — not the beginning of the universe, but the beginning of every experience . When read in this way, three verses from different parts of the Bible form a powerful sequence of insight. Though they appear in different places, we look at them thematically — because this is how the inner process of manifestation unfolds: John 1:1 reveals the origin of all creation — the “Word,” which Neville defines as an assumption or idea held in imagination. Genesis 11:1 shows the power of inner unity and introduces the shift from the language of external effort to that of inner assumption. Genesis 1:11 presents the law in action — the seed within brings forth after its kind. This symbolic sequence reflects the movement of imagination from conception, to agreement, to expression. John 1:1 — In the Beginning Was the Word “In ...
