Noah’s Obedient Imagination

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 6:22 teaches a simple rhythm: a life that has become the I AM’s instrument follows the inner command to the letter. In Neville terms, God is the I AM—awareness you already are—and the command is a living idea moving through your consciousness. Noah does not merely perform outward tasks; he remains in complete alignment with the command until his whole being echoes it. The ark, the wood, the gathering of creatures are outward symbols of an inward conviction. When you accept a command from within as if it were already fulfilled, you are rehearsing Noah’s obedience. The moment you resolve to do “all that God commanded,” you align your faculties—imagination, feeling, choice—with the reality you desire. Your faith becomes an internal discipline that refuses to contradict the command, and this creates a covenant loyalty: you and your inner vision are one. Do not seek from without what is given within; become the obedient state and the external will follow as the fruit of your inner life.
