Noah's Inner Altar Insight
Genesis 8:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Noah builds an altar and offers burnt offerings from clean beasts and birds. This act marks a moment of worship and consecration.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Noah not as a man of ancient times, but as a state of consciousness awakened after the flood of fear. The altar is not a stone pedestal but the inner altar of attention, where you stand in memory and choose what you will feed your mind. The burnt offerings, drawn from every clean beast and fowl, symbolize the cleansing of your thoughts, the surrender of lower impulses to the higher purpose you call I AM. By presenting what you deem clean your purified thoughts, disciplined feelings, and transparent intentions you seal a covenant within your own heart: loyalty to God, to the I AM that you are. Notice how the act of sacrifice is not loss but transformation; you remove the old vibrations from the self and let them ascend as incense in consciousness. In this inner rite, you declare that you are not governed by circumstance but by inner law, and that your awareness is becoming holy and separate from fear.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and build an inner altar within your chest. As Noah offered, choose one thought or fear you wish to purge, offer it as a burnt offering of purified attention, and feel the I AM covenant sealing your loyalty to the higher self.
