Inner Appetite, Quiet Abundance
Ecclesiastes 6:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage states that human labor is spent to feed the mouth, yet appetite remains unsatisfied; it questions the advantage of the wise over the fool, and concludes that pursuing desires is vanity, while the eye’s perception holds greater value than restless craving.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture this as a teaching not about outer economy but about the state you occupy. The labour of man for his mouth is the mind's attempt to secure satisfactions through forms; yet appetite balks at fullness because fullness lives in consciousness, not in calories. Whether you feeling-wise or feeling-poor, you are walking before the living in your own awareness, and such distinction is only a dream of separation. The wise may think they possess more, the fool less, yet both are appearances in a single field of consciousness. The line 'Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire' invites you to anchor attention in the present perception—the vivid actuality of now—rather than chase after continually shifting hungers. This is not denial but invitation to realize that the source of all provision lies within the I AM you are: the unchanging witness behind every experience. When you claim that you already are full, you shift the entire mental climate, and the world responds to that inner abundance by aligning with your revised state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling 'I am full within'—the I AM looking through my senses. Then carry that assumption into your day and watch the outer world respond to your inner sight.
