Genesis 6:4

Biblical Context

Genesis 6:4 describes giants on the earth and, after that, the offspring of the union between the sons of God and the daughters of men, who become mighty men, men of renown.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s approach, the giants are fixed beliefs and egoic patterns that loom large in the inner life. The sons of God symbolize your higher I AM, the awakened awareness that you are more than outer appearances, while the daughters of men represent ordinary, conditioned thought. When the higher and lower minds mingle, their offspring are the outward conditions and habits that seem to dominate your experience—mighty men, reputations, and pursuits that appear in time as reality. Your true work is to recognize that the world you inhabit is a projection of inner movements. By allowing the I AM to guide the inner scene, you can dissolve the illusion that these giants are permanent and birth new patterns aligned with harmony, wisdom, and power. The path is not struggle but alignment: imagine from the end, and let the inner conviction of your true I AM redraw the landscape of your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and dwell in the feeling of the I AM as your present reality; revise a scene of fear or pride by affirming, 'I am the I AM, here and now,' and feel the change as already true.
