Ecclesiastes 12:12

Biblical Context

Ecclesiastes 12:12 warns that chasing many books leads to weary flesh. It calls for wisdom, humility, and faithful discernment over mere accumulation.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the warning is not against reading but against making the mind a warehouse of endless theories. 'Books' symbolize the many beliefs you collect to prove reality, and the weariness is the body's message that you have forgotten the I AM, the quiet awareness that underlies all appearance. When you identify with thought, you exhaust life by chasing opinions. Turn inward and assume the living truth: I AM, the ever-present vantage from which you view the world. The inner teacher speaks not through a new volume but through a revised feeling—an assumption that you already possess what you seek. Let humility guide you; discernment grows when you stop measuring truth by how much you know and begin knowing by how you feel.
