The Inner One in a Thousand
Ecclesiastes 7:27-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The preacher records a meticulous search for the true account, and finds uprightness is rare in the external world. The text highlights the contrast between appearance and the soul's deeper longing.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage speaks not of demographic rarity but of your inner states. The 'one man among a thousand' is the single steadfast state of consciousness that remains when you stop counting outward appearances. The outer world reflects your inner belief about what is possible; if you insist on lack or gendered scarcity, that is what the psyche will present. To awaken, you must revise your assumption about who you are: imagine the upright, divine I AM already present within you, not as an external man or woman but as your permanent consciousness. When you feel this inner unity as real, the outer scene shifts to match. The 'thousand' becomes the flow of thoughts and appearances; the 'one' is the unwavering awareness that you are that I AM, here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the upright one now dwelling within me; I revise the account to see unity as my present reality.' Feel the certainty as if it already is.
