Neville Goddard on Genesis 9:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 9 in context

Scripture Focus

9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

Genesis 9:9-10

Biblical Context

God makes a covenant with you, your descendants, and every creature that travels with you, extending from the ark outward to all the earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 9:9–10 is not a distant record but a master key to your inner state. The I AM announces an covenant with you and with your seed after you, meaning your ongoing future self is called into expression by your present awareness. Your 'seed' is the continuous line of imagination you are now creating, the next expression of your life that will walk forth from this moment. By including 'every living creature that is with you,' the verse reveals that your entire inner world—habits, thoughts, desires, fears, and impulses—is encompassed within this agreement. The ark represents a past protective stance of the mind; the covenant invites you to depart from it and extend your harmony to all aspects of your experience, outward to every creature of the earth. This is Providence in action: life unfolds in response to the inner state you affirm. Renewal is not a historical event but a living, present act of alignment with the I AM, a continual creation by your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe into the chest and affirm, I AM the I AM; I establish this covenant now with my life and its future self. Visualize every part of your inner world—habits, fears, desires—being encompassed by a single radiant covenant, and feel the renewal as a present reality.
