Biblical Context

The verse says it is better to have seen the evil in the world than to be ignorant of it. It emphasizes discernment gained through experience over untested innocence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ecclesiastes 4:3 whispers that it is better to be the one who has seen the evil work under the sun than those who have not yet seen it. In the Neville lens, that 'seeing' is not judgment but a clear awakening: the entire world is the theater of your own imagination. The unborn one within you—the I AM awaiting conscious direction—escapes the trap of fear when it knows there is no power outside your state of awareness. When you have perceived evil as a thought-appearance arising within you, you no longer bow to it; you become the discerner, the witness who can revise the scene from within. The sun’s deeds are not inflicted from without; they unfold because your heart vibrates to a particular assumption. By choosing a higher story—that you are God expressing as this life—you gain mastery, accountability, and faithfulness. Your discernment becomes hope for the future, for you understand that every event mirrors your inner state and can be reimagined as harmony. This is the invitation: awaken, revise, and dwell in the certainty that you are the I AM witnessing and creating your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the witness who sees through appearances,' then revise a current fear by affirming, 'All is God expressing as my life now' and feel that certainty until it becomes your normal state.
