Noah's 950-Year Endurance
Genesis 9:29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Noah lived 950 years. Then he died.
Neville's Inner Vision
Long as the story of Noah may appear to speak of centuries, in this light it speaks of a fixed state of consciousness you have lived within. The 950 years is the measurement of how long you have wrought within your imagination before allowing the old dream to expire. When Genesis says 'and he died,' it signals not only a bodily death but the surrender of a pattern that no longer serves your creation. In the I AM you are, the life force persists when you keep faith with the image of the new world. Your awareness is the ark, carrying you through the flood of conditions into a quiet harbor of order. As you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you stamp reality with the shape of Noah's patience; the old self dissolves so the new creation becomes your present.
Practice This Now
Assume you are living in the Noah state now and feel its longevity as your present reality. Then revise the sense of endings by affirming that the old pattern dies so a new order can emerge.
