Inner Remembrance Now
Ecclesiastes 1:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that memory fades across generations; neither past nor future remains in the minds of those who come after. It points to the transient nature of outward events, urging interior awareness instead.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you lies the I AM, the living memory by which you live. The verse speaks of no remembrance of former things and no remembrance of what shall come after, but this is not a decree about time; it is a revelation of your inner state. You are not bound to the world's run of events; you are the consciousness that remembers. When you decide, here and now, that you are the remembrance you choose to inhabit, the old memories disappear as if they never defined you. You rewrite history by the simple act of assuming a present state that feels complete, unchangeable, and real. The 'former things' fade because your awareness has shifted into a new build of self, and the 'things that shall come' lose their claim because you have become the creator of what is remembered. The practical implication: inhabit the remembrance you want as your current reality, and time will follow that inner truth. You are not a spectator of memory; you are its sovereign author, and God in you is forever remembering through you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: sit quietly and declare, 'I am the remembrance I choose to inhabit now.' Feel the reality of this new memory as if it is already so.
