Luminous Inner Joy: Ecclesiastes 3:12

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, there is no ‘good’ in the world apart from the inner state you assume. Ecclesiastes whispers that the outer conditions are not the source of lasting blessing; the source is the quiet decision of your own consciousness to rejoice and to act for good. Your life follows the image you hold in mind. To rejoice is to affirm that you are the I AM experiencing life now, not later; to do good is to impress upon the world the pattern of that inner celebration. When you feel lack or limitation, treat those feelings as pebbles on the surface of a vast sea. Revision the moment: say, I am the joyful creator, and I bring forth good in my life. Imagination works by law: what you assume you become, what you feel as real becomes your experience. So, in place of complaint, cultivate a sense of divine sufficiency, and let your daily acts of goodness testify to it. The verse invites you to govern reality by the inner truth that you are the joyous, good-doing I AM.
