Neville Goddard on Genesis 8:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

Genesis 8:1-5

Biblical Context

God remembers Noah and all living beings in the ark; a divine wind calms the waters, stopping the deluge. The ark rests as the mountains become visible, signaling renewal and a fresh land within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage you are hearing the soft alarm of your own inner weather, not a history outside you. God remembers Noah—the moment your I AM awareness acknowledges the entirety of your being, and the storm within begins to yield. The wind that passes over the earth is the movement of your imagination in action, calming fear and doubt until the tumult subsides. The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven that were opened by belief are ceased by a higher state of consciousness that you now choose. Waters recede as your attention withdraws from the flood of appearances, and after a symbolic season the waters abate, revealing a land that has always existed within. The ark resting on Ararat is your stabilized sense of I AM, securely supported by mountains of certainty. You are not merely observing renewal; you are becoming the renewed state itself, carrying every living thing of consciousness into safety and potential. This is not history; it is the inner weather shifting in your favor.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and revise: I am remembered by the I AM; the winds of fear subside; the waters abate; I rest in the ark of my consciousness as mountains of certainty appear.
