Quiet Words, Inner Kingdom
Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Don't rush your words before God and keep your inner talk few. A dream arises through the busyness of life, and a fool's voice is known by many words.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 speaks to the soul as it would speak to God within. God is in heaven; you are here on earth, so your true dialogue arises from the I AM you already are. The many words of the outer mind are a distraction from the quiet, trusted state that creates. When you speak, do so from the still center of consciousness, not to bargain with God but to acknowledge what you already know in the inner I AM. The dream you seek is formed not by endless chatter but by the quality of your inner atmosphere; a loud voice is the sign of busyness, while true creation happens in present awareness. Therefore you refine your speech by first refining your inner state. Silence is not absence but a doorway to manifestation. As you practice brief, precise speech from the I AM, your outer world closes the gap between intention and experience, and what you imagine becomes your present reality.
Practice This Now
Practice in stillness: assume the state 'I AM.' Speak one concise, intimate sentence to God and feel the outcome already yours.
