Youthful Joy and Inner Judgment
Ecclesiastes 11:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rejoice in youth and follow the heart's impulses. The I AM judges all inner movements, and your inner state shapes your outer reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
The lines unveil a truth about your inner landscape: 'youth' represents the dynamic energy of your imagination, a stage where color, novelty, and movement feel most alive. When you 'rejoice' and walk 'in the ways of thy heart,' you are choosing to live from inner vision, letting your cherished images guide your steps as if they were law inscribed on your consciousness. The phrase 'in the sight of thine eyes' invites you to notice how the outer world mirrors your inner pictures, with every sensation and scene reflecting your current vibrational state. The warning 'God will bring thee into judgment' is not external judgment but the I AM within you weighing whether your thoughts and feelings align with your divine nature. Thus the inner court tests the compatibility of your inner life with your higher self. The practical path is to keep your imagination joyous, purposeful, and faithful to the I AM, trusting that vitality and discernment arise from that inner reality. Life bends to the vividness of your inner assumption.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are already living from the I AM. In a moment of impulse, revise the thought with, 'What I dwell on becomes my world,' and feel the joy as the natural state of your mind.
