Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

Genesis 6:1

Biblical Context

As people increased on the earth, daughters were born to them. It signals the beginning of human propagation and family formation.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, Genesis 6:1 is not about bodies multiplying, but about the multiplying of states within your own consciousness. Men are qualities you entertain; daughters are new possibilities arising from that consciousness. When the mind fills with the births of many thoughts and visions, you witness the birth of a broader inner community. The moment you stop clinging to old, limited self-images and welcome fresh attributes you intend to wear, you have multiplied your inner world. This is creation and order: you frame your life by the quality of attention you give each inner impulse. Unity arises as you recognize these 'daughters' are expressions of I AM, the living awareness in you, not something separate from you. The act of multiplication is consciousness expanding toward greater coherence; it invites you to align your inner states so your external world reflects the harmony you cultivate within. Your task is to dwell as the watcher, assume the end, and let the impression of new possibilities settle into reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already the wider self. Visualize one new inner state (a virtue, a relationship, an idea) as real in your present moment and feel it fully.
