The Law of Assumption: Bible Timeline
Job
Man searches for God in suffering, struggles to let go of the concept of a distant retributive god. Realises: “I AM” is within. (Job 1–42)
Elohim
“God” is plural — a symbol of the many imaginative powers within us. Everything that follows, every character and story is conceived from imagining (Gen 1)
Creation
The Bible opens with a visionary, dreamlike sequence—pure imagination in motion. “Let there be…” reveals that thought becomes form. (Gen 1)
Adam & Eve
The fall represents forgetting imagination as source.
Union of thought (Adam) and feeling (Eve) = manifestation. (Gen 2–3)
Cain & Abel
Sin = imagining unwisely and unlovingly.
Abel’s gift represents love; Cain’s, resentment and displeasure. (Gen 4). We all start off as Cain—cynical and disenchanted with life, yet carrying a spark of hope and a longing for something more
The Eroding Mental Landscape
The mind repeats pain, revenge, and loops of self-wounding. (Gen 4.23–24)
Noah & the Flood
Cleansing of old, long-held assumptions symbolised by the long lifespans.
Imagination preserved for new mental beginnings. (Gen 6–9)
Tower of Babel
Confusion arises when the Law of Assumption is introduced to the mind. Inner language—once rooted in outer effort— now tries to turn inward. (Genesis 11). (Gen 11)
Abraham
Faith begins: leave behind your old identity. Faith in the unseen and living in the end. (Gen 12–25)
Isaac
Laughter = first fruit of assumption.
Sarah laughs at the idea of joy, then births it. (Gen 17, 18, 21)
Jacob
Persistence in imagination.
Wrestles with new states of being until he assumes one (is blessed). (Gen 25–32)
Israel & the Twelve Sons
Birth of creative psychological states within the mind. (Gen 35)
Judah
Praise and raised assumption.
First conscious play with the Law (Tamar). (Gen 29, 38)
Joseph
Imagination dreams of futures.
Saves all states during inner famine. (Gen 37–50)
Benjamin
The young, innocent state of mind just beginning to respond to inner love over outer law. Seen in the boy with the arrows (1 Sam 20) and the youth who flees at Jesus’ arrest (Mk 14:51)—fledgling awareness, tender and awakening.
Leviticus & Numbers
Awareness confuses outer ritual with true assumption.Desire is projected into rites instead of being embodied. The Law is sensed, but still seen as external
Moses
“I AM THAT I AM” — awareness is God.
Leads consciousness out of bondage. (Ex 3.14)
Joshua
Takes new mental territory by faith.
Claims the land = conquers limiting beliefs. (Book of Joshua)
David
David is the beloved—symbolising the mind unfolding towards its ideal. He is contrasted by Saul, the former state, clinging to outer control instead of inner change. Before him Abel and Benjamin. (1 Sam 16–31)
Solomon
The mind matures through the building of inner, elevated assumptions and "I AM'ness—culminating in the peace that follows fulfilment.. (1 Kings 1–11)
Exile & Return
Drifting into negative states — and returning to original awareness. (2 Kings, Ezra, Nehemiah)

Revelation
Full union with creative power.
“No more sea” = total dominion over the subconscious. (Rev 21)
Summary
The Bible isn’t just history. It’s a psychological unfolding.
Old Testament: Awakening to imagination as the creative force.
New Testament: Living from the awareness that “I AM” creates all.
This is the journey:
From fragmentation to unity.
From outer striving to inner knowing.
From worshipping God — to realising you are the operant power.
