Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Genesis 6:18

Biblical Context

God promises to establish a covenant with Noah, inviting him and his household into a safeguarded path. The ark stands as the outward symbol of obedience and protection amid the flood.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Genesis 6:18 is not about a boat, but a turning inward where your I AM seals a covenant with your whole being. The words 'with thee I will establish my covenant' declare that the divine promise rests on your inner state, not on external weather. The ark is your inner vessel—your disciplined attention, your confident sense of belonging to a reality established by awareness. When you dwell in that state, all the furniture of your life—desires, fears, memories—are invited into alignment under a single law of love and obedience. The covenant becomes loyalty to your renewed sense of self, a daily choice to enter the ark of stillness where Providence guides you as surely as wind guides a vessel. Practice is the conscious assumption: 'I am the I AM; I live under an established covenant; I enter the ark within and am preserved by my inner order.'

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the covenant now: you are already inside the ark of your own consciousness, protected and guided. Keep that inner state as you move through the day, revising fear with loyal attention to the I AM.
