Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:1-2 - 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,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:1-2

Biblical Context

Genesis 6:1-2 describes humanity multiplying and the 'sons of God' noticing the 'daughters of men,' and they taking wives. It reads as an inner allegory of how our states of consciousness meet and birth experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 6:1-2 appears as an inner allegory of multiplication and choice. The 'sons of God' are the higher states of consciousness—awake, attentive, and creative. The 'daughters of men' are the appearances of the world that your mind meets in form. When the text says they saw that they were fair and took wives of all they chose, hear it as a symbolic report: your awareness identifies with a picture and thereby births an experience. The outer scene is a mirror of your inner climate. If you dwell on beauty as lure or fear as threat, you invite those energies into your life. The remedy is simple: awaken to the I AM and revise. Do not condemn the apparent sin; transmute it by becoming the witness and choosing a higher marriage—the union of your mind with divine order. Purity and integrity come from obedience to the truth you affirm in imagination. By aligning with the one reality—the I AM within—you edit the story you live, and multiplication becomes not danger but invitation to greater harmony.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM as your present reality. In a brief scene, see the sons of God lifting the daughters of men into harmony and feel the certainty of this alignment as already true.
