Dove of Renewal Within Seven

Genesis 8:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 8 in context

Scripture Focus

10And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
Genesis 8:10-12

Biblical Context

Noah waits seven days, sends the dove, and it returns with an olive leaf signaling that the waters have abated. After another seven days, the dove returns not again, signaling renewed life within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the ark of consciousness holds a state until its own inward turning is complete. The seven days are cycles of feeling and decision, not mere time; releasing the dove is letting go of a former storm. When the dove returns with an olive leaf, you witness evidence that the inner weather is clearing—the waters recede in your mind and a new vitality arises. Noah’s awareness that the waters are abated is the moment your I AM perceives change. In Neville’s language, God is the I AM within you, the consciousness that imagines and thereby creates. Repeating the sevenfold sending becomes a practice of faith that a covenant is renewed in your heart: loyalty to a right mental state, hope for what can be, and a future that already exists as you accept it here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: the waters are abated in you. Feel the dove return with the olive leaf and declare silently, 'I am the I AM; this renewal is my reality.'
