Inner Rule Healing Mind
Ecclesiastes 8:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker notes that there are seasons in life where one person rules over another to cause hurt.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Ecclesiastes, the statement is not a census of kingdoms but a map of the inner state. When you read, realize that 'one man ruleth over another' is a projection of a mind that feels separate, small, and threatened. The 'time' of such rule is the moment you believe you must control another to prove your value. But your true ruler is the I AM within, the consciousness that witnesses every thought without being moved. If you feel hurt by the 'rule' of others, know that you are not at the mercy of outer authority; you are free to shift your inner posture. By assuming the reality of a sovereign inner state, you revise the scene. As you dwell in the feeling of being the observer rather than the ruler, the wind of your life shifts, bringing harmony to what once seemed oppressive. What you imagine in consciousness calls forth the conditions of your world; let the imagination presume peace, justice, and rightful authority begin with you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and breathe; in the next moment, assume the feeling that you are the I AM, sovereign over your own consciousness, not a ruler over others. Picture every scene of control as a projection, revise it in imagination, and feel the realness of inner peace now.
