Inner Sun, Outer Shadows
Ecclesiastes 11:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe light as sweet and the sun as pleasant to behold; they warn that years can bring days of darkness and that all that comes is vanity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the sun as your own I AM, the ever-present awareness that witnesses every scene. When the verse speaks of light being sweet, it is a reminder that your inner sight thrives on realization rather than on changing circumstances. The 'days of darkness' are not future events but the moments you take as real without the awareness of your true nature. In Neville's language, all that comes is vanity only while you identify with transient conditions; once you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you awaken the inner sun that casts out shadows. You do not seek to conquer time; you revise time by assuming you are already living from you and not through you. Each moment you refuse to chase external joys and instead dwell in the state of I AM, you make the daybreak permanent in your inner world. The long years become longings transformed into consistent, luminous consciousness.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and revise a current scene by affirming, 'I am the light behind all appearances.' Feel the inner sun and let the scene reflect that I AM is sovereign.
