Inner Ark Rising: Genesis 7:17

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of your inner weather. The forty days are not a calendar but a season of consciousness in which old conditions press in. The waters rising and bearing up the ark symbolize thoughts and feelings gathering momentum, lifting your awareness to a higher vantage. The ark represents your I AM, the steady sense of being that survives the flood and remains buoyant while outer conditions churn. When you identify with this inner ark, you are not swept away by surface currents of fear or lack; you are carried by a deeper, calm awareness within. The earth below stands for former limits, now receding as your consciousness ascends. This ascent begins not by changing the world outside, but by shifting your inner life: you imagine and assume the new state, and your environment shifts to reflect that conviction. Hold fast to the truth that you are the one who lifts your world through consciousness and feeling.
