Under the Sun, Inner Kingdom
Ecclesiastes 1:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The author declares that all worldly deeds under the sun are vanity and vexation of spirit. It invites turning inward to find a reality beyond surface appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ecclesiastes declares that all the works under the sun are vanity and vexation of spirit. Neville would say: the sun is the glare of external identity—the world of appearances—where the mind keeps scoring and seeking more. The antidote is not escape from duties, but a shift of identification; you are the I AM, the aware presence that witnesses every event. When you know yourself as that still, unchanging consciousness, the vanity of outer results loses its power to define you. External conditions become mirrors of your inner state, not prisons. By assuming a new state—feeling it real that you already possess what you seek, or revising a troubling scene to reflect harmony—you awaken the inner Kingdom and invite it to govern your experience. The vexation of spirit dissolves as you dwell in coherent feeling, not in restless thought about outcomes. In short: change the state, and the world rearranges to match it.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the state 'I AM' that already possesses what you seek and feel it real now; then briefly revise a troublesome scene to reflect harmony.
