Genesis 9:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 9:5-6 speaks to the sacred value of life and the accountability that follows killing. It grounds justice in the divine image within each person.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read these verses through the Neville Goddard lens is to hear an inner law, not a sentence about distant punishment. Your life-energy, the blood of your days, must be honored; to shed another's life is to deny the living image of God you claim in yourself. The 'beast' and the 'man' are only aspects of your states of consciousness. When you fear loss or feel justified in domination, you are literally asking the flesh to be required of you, and your outer world will echo that inner decree. The remedy is internal: acknowledge that the one Life animates all; when you regard another as separate from your own I AM, you impoverish your reality. So revise: the Life I claim flows through all, and no one loses life by another's hands because I, the I AM, am the source of every life. Stand present to the conviction that each being is formed in the image of God, and let your inner disposition match that truth—produce peace, not punishment, in your thoughts and feelings.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the I AM is the Life in every being; when you sense anger or fear toward another, revise to: I am the Life that loves all forms.
