Genesis 6:6 Meaning Yahweh Was Sorry That He Had Made

This is the mind projecting its own sorrow onto love and imagining that love regrets and grieves. The ego cannot conceive of a source that only gives, so it paints even love in the colors of its own guilt, making the eternal wear a face of disappointment. The grief described belongs to the mind, not to God.

Seeing this clearly is itself a healing. When a mind recognizes that it has dressed love in its own remorse, it can stop fearing a wounded God and remember that love has no regret to feel, because in truth nothing has gone wrong that needs to be mourned.

The grief at the heart is the higher intelligence within recoiling from what the mind has become once it sank wholly into the flesh. Man upon the earth is consciousness fallen entirely into the ground of the body, given over to appetite and the lower nature until nothing of the higher aim remains visible.

The sorrow is not a distant deity's regret but the deep self turning against its own descent, the awareness within mourning that the human faculties have grown heavy and corrupt. The heart, the inner seat of feeling, registers the whole weight of a consciousness that has forgotten its origin and become only earthbound.

Earth: the ground of the physical body and the lower nature into which consciousness has fully sunk Heart: the inner seat of feeling within, where the higher intelligence registers grief at its own descent into flesh
