Neville Goddard on Genesis 8:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 8 in context

Scripture Focus

13And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

Genesis 8:13-14

Biblical Context

After the flood, the waters recede and Noah sees dry ground. This marks a new order and renewal within the mind's ark.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the flood as the storm of belief sweeping through consciousness, and the drying ground as the I AM awakening to its own ground of being. Noah within you is the I AM who builds the ark of imagination to endure; the ark is your inner sanctuary. When you lift the covering, you are not escaping reality but acknowledging that the ground you stand on in imagination is dry and solid. This is a moment of renewal, a new creation arising from order and from the precise timing of inner states. Providence and guidance are not external winds but the steady activity of I AM aligning and revealing the reality you have already imagined. You are not waiting for change; you are the change, appearing as dry ground in consciousness, obedient to the law of assumption.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling now: the waters of doubt have dried, and the ground of your awareness is clear. Revise any lingering fear by seeing the ark as your inner sanctuary and the new creation already formed.
