Inner Covenant of the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, this passage reveals a law written in consciousness, not geography. God is the I AM speaking within Noah—and within you—and the covenant is the decision of awareness to live from that I AM rather than from fear. The ark becomes the stable center of your attention, while every creature within and around you represents the many aspects of mind you permit to express. When you hear, 'I establish my covenant with you,' you are declaring that your successive thoughts and conditions are anchored to a principle that cannot be washed away by a single outward flood. The threat of extinction is a mental image, not a fact; the promise 'neither shall there be a flood' is your assurance that in the theater of your inner weather, mercy and order prevail. Your responsibility is to dwell in the I AM here and now, to feel that life flows through you unthreatened, and to know that the covenant holds for all you love. Practice this inside until your outer world testifies to the same quiet, enduring presence.
