BIBLE VERSES

Noah's Arc, The Restful Mind

   

The name Noah comes from the Hebrew Noach, meaning repose. As we have already said, the Bible is a book of Eastern Mysticism. It describes the inner workings of your mind and its place in creation.

The story of Noah’s Ark is actually explaining how we are to create a restful mind. We are to prepare our ark, our boat, our inner place of safety before our emotional storms come and floods overwhelm us.

Genesis 7:2 (KJV)
“Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.”

In Scripture, beasts (animals) represent our thoughts. Beasts specifically symbolize the thoughts of the lower or carnal mind, while fowl represent the thoughts of our higher spiritual mind.

“Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female.”

Of every clean (spiritual) thought of the carnal mind, we are to take seven. This means we are to balance the knowledge of good and evil (male and female) within our seven chakras.

“And of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.”

We are also to balance the good and evil of the unspiritual thoughts of the carnal mind.

Genesis 7:6 (KJV)
“And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.”

The number 6 is allegorical. It represents the sixth age, or the Age of Pisces. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the god of the sea (water). In biblical symbolism, water is synonymous with truth, and earth symbolizes the lower mind. Also, the sixth chakra is the third eye, or the “single eye” Jesus spoke of.

So:
“And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.”

Means:
The Noah (the restful mind) was in the sixth age (the chakra or single eye) when the waters of truth flooded upon it.

Genesis 7:10 (KJV)
“And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.”

Again, the number 7 is allegorical. It represents the seventh chakra, the crown chakra. It is also symbolic of the Sabbath. On the seventh day, when you enter the seventh chakra,  the water (truth) is upon the mind, and no further work (rain) is needed. We are not to work on the Sabbath.

Also of interest…
In Mysticism, forty days and forty nights symbolizes 6,000 years. From the time of Adam until now is approximately 6,000 years.

Be not a minister of the letter (literal).
