Inner Dust, Eternal Identity
Ecclesiastes 3:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 3:20 says all go to the same place and return to dust, signaling a universal mortality shared by all.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard light, the verse reveals not a final doom but a map of consciousness. The 'place' spoken of is the field of awareness—the I AM in which every form appears. The 'dust' is the temporary garment of thought; it arises and dissolves as attention shifts. Your true self is the unchanging observer, the I AM, which endures beyond birth and decay. The verse invites you to see that you are not the body nor the scene but the awareness that perceives them. When fear of loss arises, remember that the I AM remains constant while appearances come and go. By recognizing this, you align your inner state with continuity rather than termination. The outer world then becomes a playground of images within your consciousness, not a prison of endings. This reinterpretation invites you to live as the steadfast sense of I AM, through which all changing forms are seen and transfigured by imagination.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume, 'I am the I AM, the timeless awareness behind all form.' Stay with this feeling until the scene rearranges itself into continuity rather than termination.
