Genesis 6:3 — Inner Time Span

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the symbol of the text, the Spirit is your higher self, the I AM that never sleeps. God’s statement that His Spirit will not strive with man forever is not a punitive verdict but a revelation about your inner weather. You have been identifying with flesh—the body-mind story—and therefore living within a clock you accepted as true. The line about 120 years marks the mental clock you have been running on; it is the time frame that your inner assumption has authorized. When you revise your sense of self to align with the Spirit, the striving ends; you reset the clock by choosing a state of consciousness where the I AM reigns. In that state, time stretches to fit the vitality you imagine—because imagination creates reality. So, you do not change the decree; you change your identification from flesh to Spirit, and the external years reflect your inner declaration. Your responsibility is to dwell in that awareness and let the feeling of that reality saturate your everyday life.
