Neville Goddard on Ecclesiastes 5:11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:11

Biblical Context

Plain summary: The verse notes that as goods increase, more people eat them, and the only apparent gain for the owner is gazing at the possessions. Without inner alignment, wealth is vanity.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, Ecclesiastes whispers that wealth is not a ledger of stores but a state of consciousness. When goods increase, the old appetite—greed, fear, pride—rises to eat them. The owner gains little beyond the sight of his possessions, for true value lies in the inner life that called them forth. In this Neville reading, wealth is the I AM made visible; it is not the accumulation of things but the feeling-state by which you dwell. Therefore, revise: I am the source of all I possess; abundance flows from within, not from externals. Assume prosperity as already present, feel the reality of wish fulfilled, and let outward scenes reflect your inner conviction. As you behold with the mind's eye, not the physical eye, you discover you are the creator of your own riches. The increase becomes meaningful only as it reveals your inner sovereignty and shifts your life from mere possession to conscious being. Practically, you invite the world to mirror your inner state by dwelling in a continuous sense of I AM and acting from that assurance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat 'I am abundance' until you feel the inner wealth as your reality. Then revise any sense of lack by affirming that supply already exists within the I AM.
