Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:17-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 6 in context

Scripture Focus

17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Genesis 6:17-22

Biblical Context

God warns of a flood to judge the earth, but establishes a covenant with Noah, guiding him to build an ark where he, his family, and representatives of every creature will be saved; Noah obeys every command.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the flood is not a distant catastrophe but a symbol of the cleansing of your inner thoughts. The breath of life you sense within is your living energy, and as you still the mind this old belief system is washed away by the waters of awareness. The covenant is your unwavering recognition that you are protected by the I AM within, a covenant you renew by choosing to live in faith regardless of outward appearances. The ark is your inner sanctuary, entered by the act of imagining a precise state of consciousness. In you, opposing tendencies and divine principles come together for survival; you bring two of every sort into the ark by embracing both the masculine and feminine aspects of your mind and harmonizing them. You feed and sustain life by feeding your mind with right thoughts and feelings, so that you and all within your consciousness may endure. When you obey the inner command with exactness, you become the architect of your own salvation, and the world around you becomes a mirror of the inner shift you have embraced.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the inner ark: I AM the life within me, I enter this covenant now, and I am protected. Feel this safety as your awareness expands into the promised space.
