Inner Laughter, Vanity Revealed
Ecclesiastes 7:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 7:6 says that the fool's loud laughter is like the crackling of thorns under a pot, showing vanity. The verse invites discernment: such laughter is empty unless one shifts inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the verse is a map of inner weather. The crackling laughter represents a transient, sensory-focused state—thorns crackling under the pot—signaling vanity when the mind mistakes surface noise for reality. Remember: God is the I AM, and events in life unfold as movements within your consciousness. The fool’s merriment marks a belief that appearances determine worth, a posture that drains inner life. Your task is to awaken to the act of imagining yourself as the creator of your scenes. Assume a higher state now: you are the observer, the I AM, who permits nothing but truth to serve your life. Feel it real that your inner climate governs outer appearances, and that vanity can yield to discernment. When you persist in the feeling of being the perceiver who holds the line, the outer laughter loses its grip and wisdom blooms from humility. The crackling fades from fear to amusement, and your life harmonizes with a more enduring truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM; I govern my inner state.' Then revise by feeling a calm, discerning awareness replacing the urge to amuse or impress, and notice the shift in your outer world.
