Nourishing Inner Wealth

Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
2A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecclesiastes 6:1-2

Biblical Context

Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 describes a man who has riches, wealth, and honor yet cannot enjoy them, and a stranger consumes the fruit of his labor—this is vanity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Under the sun you read of a man who has riches, wealth, and honour, and yet the power to eat of his abundance is withheld from him. The stranger who consumes what is his is not a thief, but a habit of mind that refuses belief in your own sufficiency. In Neville’s psychology, wealth is never out there to be won; it is a state of consciousness you awaken to by the way you imagine and feel. If you insist that the riches exist apart from you or that you must struggle to eat them, you invite a famine of sensation while the world around you remains full. The evil disease is the split between desire and the inner sense of right now fulfillment. The moment you switch your posture and assume, I am the eater of my abundance, your inner appetite is fed by your belief. The stranger dissolves as your awareness becomes one with the abundance you claim. You are not made poor by a decree of Providence but restored to the awareness that God—the I AM—has already prepared a feast in your own consciousness. Eat, therefore, by assuming the living reality of your riches.

Practice This Now

Impose the assumption now: I am the eater of my abundance. Close your eyes, feel gratitude, and imagine you are eating the very riches you desire, as if you already live in them.
