Inner Ark of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 7:8-9 speaks of two and two entering the ark, male and female, by command. In the Neville idiom, these lines reveal inner movements of consciousness. The animals are not merely creatures; they represent the faculties and desires that ride in the stream of life. Clean or unclean points to purity or distortion within your mental weather. The ark is your state of being where all such tendencies are gathered and held by a law—'as God had commanded Noah.' This is the moment you listen to the I AM within and align your imaginal energy with the divine order. When you acknowledge that your inner world is governed, you stop the flood of fear and doubt and allow a new order to ride the waters. The pairing of male and female suggests balance: every impulse requires its mate of steady perception; every impulse needs its container of faith. Salvation comes not from external rescue but from obedience to the inner command, which reconfigures your world from within.
