Practical Forgiveness

Genesis 1:26 says: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...” The word translated “God” here is Elohim , a plural noun meaning “rulers,” “judges,” or “powers.” Neville taught that this reveals a deep truth: there are infinite states of consciousness, and each one can rule your life if you let it. When you keep identifying with a certain state — for example, seeing yourself as hurt, wronged, or limited — you uphold that state as a “judge” in your mind. You continually manifest it because you keep returning to it in self-perception . Forgiveness, as Neville explained, is not about excusing someone else. It is about no longer letting the old state rule you . You stop reacting from it. You forget it completely and return to your original creative image: the pure “I AM,” before any reaction or story. This is how you claim dominion, as Genesis 1:26 says. Genesis 4:4-7 says you are not meant to be ruled by past states; you are meant to rule over them. When you forgiv...

Faith in God: Gospel of Mark

In Mark 11:22–25 , Jesus says: “Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them… whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Neville Goddard interpreted this not as religious metaphor but as psychological instruction. “Have faith in God,” he taught, really means have faith in your imagination , for God and your own wonderful human imagination are one and the same. To Neville, the “mountain” is any seeming obstacle in the outer world — and the command to cast it into the sea is a call to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled , regardless of appearances. The key lies in Mark 11:24: “ believe that you have received it, and it will be yours .” Neville taught this is not about begging or waiting — it’s about living from the end , inwardly accepting your desire as already true, ...

Pharaoh: Stubborn and Resistant Rulership

Pharaoh is a central figure in the Biblical narrative, particularly in the story of Moses and the Exodus. His interactions with Moses, his repeated refusals, and his eventual downfall have been interpreted in various ways throughout history. However, when we view Pharaoh’s role through Neville Goddard’s teachings on the Law of Assumption , we gain a psychological understanding of his character as a reflection of our internal conflicts and assumptions. Pharaoh: The Manifestation of Fixed Assumptions In Neville Goddard's framework, characters in the Bible represent states of consciousness , and Pharaoh is no different. Pharaoh can be seen as a symbol of the fixed assumption —a mental state that is resistant to change. This represents the stubbornness of the human mind when it is deeply attached to old beliefs and perceptions of reality. Pharaoh's repeated rejection of Moses' request to free the Israelites reflects our own resistance to releasing old, limiting beliefs . In...

A Comparison of Philosophies: Carl Jung and Neville Goddard

When exploring the concepts of imagination, the unconscious, and the power of the mind, it’s not uncommon to see striking similarities between the teachings of Carl Jung and Neville Goddard . Both focus on the transformative power of the inner world, the potential of imagination, and the journey towards self-realisation. However, despite these shared themes, it’s important to understand that Carl Jung and Neville Goddard developed their philosophies independently and at different times. Not only do they have distinct approaches, but they also offer unique paths for individuals to access their own conscious awareness. Carl Jung: A Pioneer in Psychology Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, began developing his influential ideas in the early 20th century. Jung’s theories, particularly those on the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the process of individuation, started gaining recognition as early as the 1910s and 1920s. By mid-century, Jung had es...

144,000 in Revelation: The Sealing of States

The number 144,000 mentioned in the Book of Revelation has often sparked fascination and confusion. Many traditional interpretations suggest it refers to a literal number of people to be saved during the end times. However, when we approach Revelation through the teachings of Neville Goddard, a very different, far more empowering meaning emerges. Neville consistently taught that the Bible is not a historical record or a prophecy of worldly events, but rather a psychological drama — a blueprint of individual spiritual awakening. Revelation, like the rest of Scripture, symbolises the transformation of our inner world. Salvation, in Neville’s terms, is never about saving people from external calamities. It is about saving yourself from ignorance — from the false belief that you are separate from God. Numbers as Symbols of Inner States In Neville’s understanding, numbers in the Bible are not statistical; they are symbolic. They point to qualities of consciousness, stages of inner growth, a...
