Neville Goddard on Genesis 1:20-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 1 in context

Scripture Focus

20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Genesis 1:20-23

Biblical Context

On the fifth day, God speaks the waters and the air into being living creatures and birds; He blesses them to be fruitful and multiply within creation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 1:20-23 invites you to discover that God’s act is your own inner act. The waters that bring forth life symbolize the deep, moving feelings of consciousness you entertain within. When you imagine, you are releasing images that multiply in your inner sea; the fowl that fly above the earth are thoughts that rise into the open sky of awareness. The great whales, and every living thing, are the forms your inner world can sustain when belief and feeling are steady. The blessing, Be fruitful and multiply, is not a command to someone outside you; it is the certainty of your I AM—when you own the life that is yours, it multiplies, fills the seas of your experience, and fills the earth with form. The fifth day thus reveals how attention, faith, and feeling become the creative agent. Your present imagination becomes the field where life expands; awaken to the inner decree and observe how your outer world follows the inner vision.
