The act of Noah building the arc and filling it with animals symbolizes the importance of remaining righteous while recognizing and preserving the aspects of life that are precious and worthy of protection. This process requires wisdom, discernment and the strength to disregard so many aspects of modern life that distract us from maintaining a higher, more spiritual focus.

The arc was a strong vessel which provided protection and shelter from the storm, symbolizing the strength of conviction required to not lose ourselves in the tumult of modern life. The ark floats above the dark flood waters, just as we must find the courage and discipline to rise above the ways of the world and not drown in the fear, anger and despondency that plagues modern society.The story closes with the release of a dove as the waters recede, only to have it return a brief time later carrying an olive branch. This signals to Noah that a time of deliverance and a new beginning has arrived. Contained in this metaphor is the promise that if we can remain steadfast to our noble convictions, we will experience goodness, protection, hopefulness and peace as symbolized by the little dove with the olive branch. The ark story inspires us to maintain a serene and detached attitude from chaos and confusion, to be clearly focused and grateful, and use the extraordinary power of consciousness to energize a higher way of living for all.
