Constructing Your Mind's Ark

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 6:14-16 speaks of an ark—not a boat upon water, but a state of consciousness you must actively imagine into form. The gopher wood is your faculty of imagination organized into a defined pattern; the rooms are the aspects of yourself you intend to preserve by faith. Pitch within and without is the discipline of inner congruence: what you yield to in feeling and belief must be matched in outward life. The window that is finished a cubit above invites a new perspective, a higher sense of reality that looks out onto the world from a higher vantage. The door in the side is your choice to enter and depart from old conditions; the three stories represent levels of mind—conscious, subconscious, and supra-conscious—each filled with intention according to the covenant with God, the I AM. When you dwell in this image and feel you already inhabit it, you secure your salvation from the flood of circumstances. Your command is not to plead for change but to embody the state.
