The Way

Matthew 16:13-29  is one of the most pivotal chapters in the New Testament—and when read symbolically, as Neville Goddard taught, it becomes a profound revelation of how our inner world creates our outer experience. Rather than reading this chapter as a historical account, Neville invites us to see it as a drama of inner awakening . It speaks to the journey of realising who we truly are, and how that realisation becomes the foundation upon which our reality is built. 1. “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (Matthew 16:13) Here, Jesus—who symbolises your I AM awareness (Ex 3:14)   —asks how others define him. This is the voice in us all that seeks identity through external validation , through the opinions of the world. But that question soon turns inward... 2. “But who do you say that I AM?” (Matthew 16:15) This is the turning point of the entire chapter. It’s not about what others think—it’s about what you assume to be true about your own identity. To Ne...

In Neville Goddard's framework, the Bible is a profound text that speaks not of historical events but also of the inner workings of consciousness and the power of imagination . A perfect example of this can be found in Proverbs 30:4, a verse that, when examined deeply, reveals layers of meaning regarding our divine creative power. Specifically, the repetition of the word "who" in this verse is key, and it ultimately points to the answer that Neville Goddard consistently emphasised from Exodus 3:14: "I AM"  This article will focus on how the repetition of "who" in this verse draws attention to the divine creative power within each of us , pointing directly to the " I AM " awareness of being — the central pillar of Neville’s teachings on manifestation. The Verse: Proverbs 30:4 (BBE) "Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends o...

In the Bible, the names Micah and Michael both ask the same question: “Who is like God?” Yet, they represent two stages of spiritual awakening— Micah as the seeking soul and Michael as the realised divine self. By examining these names through Neville Goddard’s teachings, we uncover a deeper understanding of how the journey from questioning to realisation mirrors our own path to manifesting our desires through the creative power of imagination. Micah: The Seeker of Divinity “There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.” — Judges 17:1 In Judges 17 , we are introduced to a man named Micah , from the tribe of Ephraim, who starts his journey in search of divine connection. The name Micah (מִיכָה, Mikha ) comes from Micaiah (מִיכָיָה), meaning “Who is like Yah?” or “Who is like the Lord?” This question reflects the soul’s yearning for divinity. In Neville Goddard’s framework, Micah symbolises the part of us that seeks spiritual truth, wondering how we can ever b...

In Neville Goddard's teachings, Michael represents the inner strength of imagination, embodying the "I AM"—the divine creative power within us. The name Michael , meaning "Who is like God?" (I AM!), underscores the realisation that there is no greater creative force than imagination, the very essence of God’s power working through us. The term angel itself means "messenger," and in this context, Michael, as the divine messenger, is sent to remind us of the creative power of imagination, particularly in moments of doubt and resistance. Just as Michael appears in the Bible to confront spiritual forces of darkness, in Neville’s teachings, Michael symbolises the inner power of imagination that rises to reaffirm belief in the wish fulfilled, even when external circumstances or inner doubts threaten to derail it. 1. Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, ...
