Neville Goddard on Genesis 8:17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 8 in context

Scripture Focus

17Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

Genesis 8:17

Biblical Context

Noah is commanded to bring every creature onto the earth so that life may proliferate. The verse frames orderly creation and the promise of ongoing abundance.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, Genesis 8:17 speaks not of a distant ark but of your own inner order returning after the flood of fear. The command to bring forth every living thing is a call to release every facet of your consciousness into life through the I AM you inhabit. The earth you tend is the field of your own awareness; multiplication is not merely biological reproduction but the expansion of states of consciousness that feel true to you. When you hear 'breeding abundantly,' hear it as the law of mental prolificness: whatever you nourish with attention must assume form in your world. You are the steward who opens the doors of the ark of your mind and invites every aspect—fears, gifts, desires, relationships—to propagate under your watchful, faithful I AM. Covenant loyalty means you do not abandon the life within; you align with a universal rhythm of realizing, growing, and distributing life. The more you imagine states of plenty and healthy order, the more your outer experiences reflect that inner census. This verse invites you to believe that your inner garden can and will multiply.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: 'I AM abundance multiplying in all areas of my life.' Then visualize a scene where every part of your world—health, work, relationships—grows and fills with light.
