Inner Hunger, Outer Labor
Ecclesiastes 6:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows that human labor seeks to satisfy appetite, yet true fullness remains elusive, and both the wise and the poor share the same lack, pointing to an inner, not outward, problem.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the Solomonic picture is not a contract with appetite but a mirror of your inner states. In Neville’s ear, the labor of man is the mind’s restless activity, imagining itself separate from the I AM, chasing satisfaction through outward work while inner fullness remains absent. Whether you call yourself wise or poor, the outer scene asks the same question: what you possess is the fruit of your inner walk before the living. When you rest in the awareness that you are the I AM, you learn that labor does not create fullness; fullness is recognized, already present, as imagination made flesh. The appetite’s ceaseless seeking shows a fault in your assumption about where life resides. Therefore revise: claim that the I AM has already satisfied you; feel that state now, and let your day unfold from that internal abundance. Your deeds will flow from a complete inner space rather than from lack, aligning you with the living presence within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, rest a hand on your abdomen, and imagine the I AM has already satisfied your hunger. Repeat, 'I AM, and I AM is enough,' and feel the fullness spreading through you.
