Beyond the Quest for Wisdom

Ecclesiastes 7:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 7 in context

Scripture Focus

23All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
Ecclesiastes 7:23

Biblical Context

He tried to prove all by wisdom and vowed to be wise, but wisdom was far from him. It shows the limits of intellectual striving and invites turning inward.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line you encounter the habit of measuring life by the mind's yardstick, and you learn that to become wise by intellect alone is to grasp at wind. The I AM within does not arrive as a prize won by external study, but as a state you assume. To say, 'I will be wise,' is to address the surface of awareness, not the depth where wisdom truly resides. The more you seek wisdom through analysis, the further it slips, for wisdom is the light of consciousness you already possess. If you would taste wisdom, stop chasing it as a thing to acquire and begin to live from the state of wisdom already yours. Assume you are the I AM, the source of all insight within you; relax into its presence, feel the quiet intelligence rising, and let your outer life reflect that inner certainty. Imagination is the instrument; revise your sense of separation and 'far from me' becomes 'I am here, now, as wisdom unbound.'

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, revise your stance to 'I am wisdom itself, here and now.' Feel the inner certainty rise, and let a simple choice today be guided by that quiet knowledge.
