Two Are One in Labor
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Two are better than one because they share the labor and can lift each other up; loneliness leaves you without help.
Neville's Inner Vision
Two are better than one, for in the I AM there is unity of purpose. Ecclesiastes speaks of two aspects of your consciousness laboring in harmony; when they cooperate, you experience a richer return, not merely outer gain but the inner reward of wholeness. If one aspect falls, the other lifts it up, and you feel the movement of your inner laws in operation. To be alone, the verse warns, is to cut yourself off from the support your I AM provides; loneliness signals a misalignment of inner companionship. The practical invitation is to assume a state in which your thoughts and your feeling-sense of another constant partner are together, moving in the same direction. Imagination is the tool here: you imagine both helpers in one field of consciousness, then feel the uplift as if two hands are lifting you and your project. Persist in this upheld state, and your life transacts in cooperation, and the labor bears a richer reward because you have refused to go it alone.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes; imagine a trusted inner companion walking beside you, or simply imagine two aspects of your self laboring together. Then declare, 'I and the companion within are united in purpose; I feel the lift and go forward as one.'
