Inner Repetition and Imagination
Ecclesiastes 1:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Life is an endless cycle of labor, and the senses never settle. What has been will be again; there is nothing truly new under the sun.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard perspective, Ecclesiastes invites us to look inward. All things are full of labour—meaning the world you seem to see is but a tremor of the mind in motion, a dance of desires within awareness. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing: the inner self never rests in outer stimuli, because satisfaction comes not from objects but from the state of consciousness you occupy. The thing that hath been is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done: an inner law of repetition, unless a shift in consciousness occurs. There is no new thing under the sun—a quiet reminder that novelty in the outer world is a projection of a new inner assumption. You are the I AM, the stable reality behind appearances; by deciding, in feeling, to occupy the state of your wish as already real, you begin to rewrite the script. Do not seek novelty externally; awaken to the inner state that creates every scene. When you revise your inner story, the world will reflect your revised I AM, and the cycle dissolves into timeless presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare 'I AM that I AM' and imagine the desired reality already in place. Feel it as real and carry that state into your next moment.
