Ecclesiastes 3:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 3 in context

Scripture Focus

8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:8

Biblical Context

Ecclesiastes 3:8 reminds us that there are seasons for love and hate, and for war and peace, reflecting the changing moods within life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every listener, the 'time to love' is the awakening to the I AM that loves without condition; the 'time to hate' is not a command to enmity, but a signal that resistance and judgment arise as part of the dream. In Neville's terms, these are inner movements of consciousness, not external events. When you live as the I AM, you discover that war and peace are different postureings of mind—moments when you believe in lack and separation versus moments when you accept unity and wholeness. Providence operates as the continuous alignment of your feelings with your ideal. The mind does not stumble upon war by fate; it invents it by forgetting who it is. Return to the awareness that you are the manifesting I AM, and with each breath you choose the next scene. The peace you seek is not after the battle but within the belief that you stand in unity with your Creator, who guides every apparent season. Allow the inner scene to revise the outer, transforming contention into harmony by the simple act of imagining yourself as whole.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Assume the feeling of being loved and guided by God, revising every inner conflict into harmony until it feels real.
