The Inner Ark of Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 7:9 speaks of the two entering the ark at the command of God. In the interior sense, the two— the male and the female— are the polarities within thought, the active and receptive forces of consciousness. When the I AM commands, there is no resistance; the mind yields to alignment and steps into the ark of awareness. The ark represents a state of protection where the flood of old beliefs cannot enter, because obedience to the inner directive has created a covenant with your true self. Salvation here is not a historical event but a present conversion: as you act in harmony with the inner command, you are saved from the deluge of doubt and fear. The outward story becomes a parable of inner discipline: the two are brought in, not by force, but by a settled decision of faith— that God is the I AM, and your awareness is the vessel. The literal numbers vanish, leaving the experiential truth: when you obey the I AM within, you ride the renewing wave with calm assurance.
