Inner Center When Ruler Rises

Ecclesiastes 10:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 10 in context

Scripture Focus

4If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
5There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
Ecclesiastes 10:4-5

Biblical Context

When an inner sense of authority rises against you, stay anchored in your center; yielding pacifies offenses, and the 'evil' from the ruler is the misalignment between outer motion and inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the ruler is the commander of your thoughts—the voice that says how things must be. When that spirit rises against you, do not abandon your place in the I AM. Yielding here does not mean capitulating to fear or to outward pressure; it means surrendering to the higher rhythm of consciousness and letting the disturbance pass while you remain fixed in awareness. The 'evil' described as an inner error is simply misalignment between your inner state and its outward expression; the ruler is a projection of a habit of thought. By holding to your inner authority and not vacating the throne of awareness, you pacify the offense—the inner disturbance that otherwise grows into conflict. This is the practice of peace (Shalom): discern when to stand and when to let the imagination do its work. Humility shows as accepting you are the observer of mental motion, not its slave, and wisdom comes from returning again and again to I AM, until the outer scene reflects the harmony already present in your mind.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next moment of disturbance, close your eyes, take a breath, and affirm 'I am still.' Feel the inner throne returning to quiet confidence and let the outer spirit rise passively without you vacating your center.
