Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905-1972)

Neville Lancelot Goddard (1905-1972) was an American mystic author who was famous for his writing on metaphysical subjects.[1][2] He interpreted Bible from a psychological perspective, i.e. treating it not as a record of historical events, but a collection of parables on how the human mind works.[3] As he wrote, “Instead of looking upon the Bible as the historical record of an ancient civilization or the biography of the unusual life of Jesus, see it as a great psychological drama taking place in the consciousness of man.”[4] Goddard is often associated with the New Thought Movement,[5][6] which promotes metaphysical ideas such as the Law of Attraction,[7][8] and he remains one of the most quoted authors for the subject in the 21st century. [9][10][11]

Biblical Interpretations

Below are some examples of Goddard’s interpretation of the Bible:

“I Am” as the Awareness of Being

Source Passage (NKJV) Interpretation
Exodus 3:14 I AM has sent me to you. God is man’s awareness of being. The awareness of being is the door through which the manifestations of life pass into the world of form. Consciousness is the resurrecting power – resurrecting that which man is conscious of being. Man is ever out-picturing that which he is conscious of being.[4]
Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I AM God.
Isaiah 45:5 I AM the Lord and there is none else.
Mark 8:29 But who do you say that I AM?
Revelation 22:13 I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“Father and Son” as the Conceiver and the Conceived

Source Passage (NKJV) Interpretation
John 10:29-30 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all… I and My Father are one. Consciousness, being God, is as ‘father.’ The thing that you are conscious of being is the ‘son’ bearing witness of his ‘father.’ It is like the conceiver and its conceptions. The conceiver is ever greater than his conceptions yet ever remains one with his conception. For instance; before you are conscious of being man, you are first conscious of being. Then you become conscious of being man. Yet you remain as conceiver, greater than your conception – man.
Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. It is telling you that he rose in consciousness to the point where he was just conscious of being, thus transcending the limitations of his present conception of himself, called ‘Jesus.’

Law of Attraction

Source Passage (NKJV) Interpretation
Job 22:28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you. In the awareness of being all things are possible. This is his decreeing – rising in consciousness to the naturalness of being the thing desired.
