Inner Calm, Outer Peace

Ecclesiastes 7:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 7 in context

Scripture Focus

9Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:9

Biblical Context

The verse warns against hastiness in spirit to anger, noting that anger sits with fools. It invites a calm, discerning mood that protects wisdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry is not a rule about others but a reminder of your own inner weather. Anger appears when you identify with a memory or threat as real in you, and you defend a self image built in limitation. In the spacious I AM sense, you are not the fever of reaction but the awareness that can choose a new state. When you feel the impulse to strike with resentment, you can shift by declaring I am calm now; I am the I AM, the perceiving, untroubled witness. See the event as a picture your imagination is projecting, and choose a more harmonious interpretation. The anger rests in the bosom of fools becomes a statement about the misalignment of your inner state with your true self; you are called to recover the power to govern your inner atmosphere. Practice the revision: revisit the moment in imagination, replace anger with compassion or firm clarity, and feel the new vibration as your present reality. Let discernment replace impulsive heat, and peace will saturate your interactions.

Practice This Now

Assume the calm I AM now; feel it in your chest as a steady, warm light. Then replay the last moment you felt anger, revising it to wisdom and peace.
