Neville Goddard on Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

11When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage says that loving wealth never satisfies, and as possessions grow, those who consume them grow too; the owner gains nothing substantial except the sight of his wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the silent classroom of your mind, wealth is not a bank balance but a state you occupy. To love silver is to contract your awareness to a fluctuating outside force; you become the watcher of your possessions rather than the possessor of your life. The verse describes vanity, not as a moral condemnation of money, but as a revelation: every increase in goods is mirrored by a crowd of thoughts and fears that feed upon them. When you identify with the outward accumulation, you hand your power away to images that you feed with attention. The eternal I AM, your true self, is not reached by more to guard, but by less attachment and more inner sufficiency. If you revise the assumption to 'I am the source of supply,' you discover that the more you need nothing, the more everything enters as a gift of consciousness. Wealth then becomes an inner current, circulating in your awareness, not a hoard to be guarded. In this light, the owners are those who behold with their eyes, yet the inner riches are the only riches that endure.
