Neville Goddard on Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 3 in context

Scripture Focus

14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ecclesiastes 3:14-15

Biblical Context

God’s work endures forever and cannot be altered. What has been and what will be are held within the present I AM, inviting reverent awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 the acts of God are eternal and unchangeable, and past and future are enfolded in the one present. In Neville’s teaching, God is the I AM within you, the fixed state of awareness that makes every life possible. Therefore to fear before Him is to honor the law of your own consciousness: whatever you imagine with intention becomes your world. The line That which hath been is now, and that which is to be hath already been becomes your invitation to revise memory and prophecy from the standpoint of the unalterable I AM. Past events are not chains but data stored in the disk of awareness; future events are not random risks but possibilities already contained in you, waiting for your present declaration. When you align with the unchanging God within, you stop chasing outcomes and begin living as the vessel through which the eternal order expresses itself. Your task is to sustain a state that would naturally realize the desired appearance.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and declare I am the unchanging I AM; see past and future as bound to this present state. Revise a memory to fit this reality and feel it real for several minutes.
