Inner Timing of Silence and Speech
Ecclesiastes 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 3:7 presents seasons in life: there is a time to rend and a time to sew, a time to keep silence and a time to speak. It points to an inner rhythm governing action.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the words about timing are really about your states of consciousness. Rend and sew are currents in your inner weather: tearing away the old patterns and stitching a new awareness. Silence and speech are not laws of the world but conditions of your awareness. When you feel an impulse to speak, pause and ask whether your inner state matches the outcome you desire. If not, let silence do its work until the feeling is ready to translate into words that bless and confirm peace. The 'time' is the moment your I AM asserts itself, not a calendar. If you assume you are the I AM that rips away limitation and stitches truth into form, your environment will follow. Wisdom and discernment arise from quiet listening to the stillness behind your thoughts. Truth and faithfulness grow when you stay true to your inner state, regardless of outer pressure. The result is Shalom—the harmonious alignment of inner and outer. Practice: in every moment, assume the state that makes the right action natural, and feel it real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, imagine you are the I AM, already having spoken or kept silent in perfect timing. Feel the certainty of the outcome as if it has already occurred.
