He argues that Esau, the elder, always comes first—symbolizing man's reliance on the senses—while Jacob, the younger, is destined to rule, symbolizing the awakened imagination.Goddard shares personal mystical experiences from childhood where he felt himself separating from a vast ocean of being, symbolizing the birth of Jacob within him. He explains that through absorption in a desired state, one can command external reality to conform, as Esau must serve Jacob. He provides practical exercises, such as shifting one’s perception of a room or placing oneself mentally in a new reality, to accelerate this transformation.He concludes that man’s true self is divine imagination (Jacob), and once it is fully realized, Esau (the physical world) dissolves, leaving only the eternal creative self.Key Takeaways:Esau Represents the Physical Self, Jacob Represents the Imaginative SelfEsau is the body, the senses, and external reality.Jacob is imagination, the creative power that shapes reality.The biblical prophecy that “the elder shall serve the younger” signifies that the physical world (Esau) must obey imagination (Jacob).Imagination Commands RealityWhen you assume a state and become absorbed in it, the world must conform to it.Physical reality (Esau) must obey the commands of the imaginative self (Jacob).Separation from the Physical Self is Key to AwakeningGoddard describes mystical experiences where he felt himself separating from his body, symbolizing the awakening of Jacob.This “inner separation” is the process of realizing that you are not the body, but divine imagination.All External Events Serve the Internal CommandExternal events move in response to our inner assumptions.Even apparent misfortune is merely Esau obeying Jacob’s command.Practical Exercises to Strengthen Inner VisionReverse Perspective: Close your eyes and visualize the room as though it is reversed—placing what’s behind you in front of you.Mental Relocation: Imagine standing outside your home, looking at the building as if you were actually there.Seeing Beyond the Surface: Stare at an object until it begins to shift and reveal deeper imagery.Faith Means Letting Go—Once You Imagine, It Is DoneOnce you assume a state and feel its reality, let it be.Do not try to manipulate outcomes; external events will rearrange themselves naturally to fulfill the assumption.Everyone Serves the Command of the One Who ImaginesPeople around you unknowingly play their part in fulfilling your assumption.The world is an obedient servant of the awakened imagination.The Bible is a Mystical Story About Man’s Inner AwakeningEvery character in the Bible symbolizes an aspect of human consciousness.Esau is the temporary, external self, while Jacob (later called Christ) is the eternal, creative self.The Ultimate Realization: You Are Divine LightAt 21, Goddard experienced being pure liquid golden light—his true self beyond the body.When Jacob fully awakens, Esau dissolves, and only divine imagination remains.Everything Is Imagination—There Is No External ForceThe entire world, including money, health, and relationships, is shaped by the inner activity of imagination.“Let no one tell you what you cannot have—Esau must serve Jacob.” ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard’s wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic.
