Neville Goddard on Ecclesiastes 5:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 5 in context

Scripture Focus

9Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

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 5:9-11

Biblical Context

The earth's profit belongs to all, and loving wealth does not yield lasting satisfaction; when goods increase, they primarily serve those who use them, while the true owner is the observer who beholds them without craving.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the psyche, Ecclesiastes 5:9–11 reveals that the profit of the earth is a field prepared for all life, a field nourished by the I AM that you are. The king you worship—the ego's claim to personal wealth—is fed by this field only when you trust the entire field of consciousness rather than possession. When you say you love silver or abundance, you discover the consciousness that seeks security in things cannot be satisfied; this is vanity, for the life that is aware in you is infinite and not confined to coins or goods. The true owner is not the one who amasses but the watcher who beholds the field with gratitude, knowing the whole supply is within. As you revise your state—declare I AM the source of all provision—you will find external goods increase only to the extent your mind stops clinging to them. The wealth you seek is not out there to seize but within you as awareness; when you rest in that awareness, abundance flows as shared life through the entire field.
