In Scripture, chariots and wheels symbolize the - nature of consciousness. Through Neville Goddard’s interpretation, these images reveal how YHVH/LORD assumes Ehyeh/I AM, and Elohim enforces the outcome, demonstrating the movement of thoughts, desires, and imagination in shaping reality.
The Chariot: A Vehicle for Manifestation
The chariot represents motion—the active direction of YHVH/LORD as Ehyeh/I AM through consciousness. Just as a chariot moves toward a destination, assumed identity propels us toward the reality we desire. Elohim enforces this motion according to the laws of creation.
Conscious focus on imagination steers the chariot, giving purpose to the motion of thoughts. Without intention, the chariot drifts; with assumption, it manifests the desired state.
The Chariot of Fire: Spiritual Ascent — 2 Kings 2:11
“Then Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof!” — 2 Kings 2:11 KJV
Here, the chariot of fire embodies the elevation of consciousness. YHVH/LORD leaves limiting states, assuming Ehyeh/I AM in a higher form. Fire represents the purifying force burning away old beliefs, allowing Elohim to enforce the ascent to a higher state of awareness.
The Wheels in Ezekiel’s Vision: Consciousness in Motion — Ezekiel 1:15-21
“And as for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.” — Ezekiel 1:18-19 KJV
The wheels within wheels represent the continuous motion of thought in consciousness. YHVH/LORD perceives the desires, assumes Ehyeh/I AM, and Elohim enforces alignment. Like the wheels that move in all directions without turning, consciousness moves fluidly, and all aspects—thoughts, beliefs, emotions—interact to shape experience.
Chariots and Inner Conflict
Biblical chariots often signify internal struggle. The motion of the chariot reflects YHVH/LORD navigating between old limiting beliefs and newly assumed states (Ehyeh/I AM). Elohim enforces whichever identity dominates within consciousness.
The wheels in Ezekiel’s vision further highlight inner plurality. Fragmented thoughts can act like independent wheels, potentially opposing the desired I AM. Conscious direction focuses these motions toward alignment and manifestation.
The Chariots of Pharaoh: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs — Exodus 14
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” — Exodus 14:15 KJV
The chariots of Pharaoh symbolise fear, doubt, and limitation. YHVH/LORD, when assuming Ehyeh/I AM, can rise above these forces. Elohim enforces the escape from constraining beliefs, enabling the manifestation of freedom and the desired reality.
The Chariot of Victory: Motion Toward Manifestation
The chariot also represents victory and purposeful motion. YHVH/LORD consciously assumes Ehyeh/I AM, directing the chariot of consciousness toward the fulfilment of desires. Elohim ensures the reality aligns with the assumed state.
By focusing attention and imagination, the chariot moves decisively toward manifestation, illustrating the Ask → Believe → Receive principle: YHVH/LORD asks, Ehyeh/I AM assumes, and Elohim enforces.
Conclusion: Chariots and Wheels as the Mechanics of Consciousness
Chariots and wheels in Scripture, when interpreted through Neville Goddard’s teachings, represent the movement of consciousness. Chariots symbolize directed motion toward assumed identity, while wheels represent continuous, dynamic thought. YHVH/LORD assumes Ehyeh/I AM, and Elohim enforces the state, guiding reality to match consciousness.
These symbols remind us that we are in control of the direction of our thoughts and, therefore, the outcomes in life. By consciously steering the chariot of our mind and aligning the wheels of thought, we manifest the reality we wish to inhabit.
Final Thoughts: Take Control of Your Chariot
The chariot and wheels are metaphors for the motion of consciousness. Directing this motion intentionally allows YHVH/LORD to fully assume Ehyeh/I AM, with Elohim enforcing the desired reality. The creative power of imagination drives the chariot; the perpetual motion of thought, symbolized by wheels, ensures our reality unfolds according to assumed identity.
