Inner Order Under The Sun
Ecclesiastes 8:9-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 8:9-14 portrays life under the sun as unfair and puzzling: rulers over others, the wicked forgotten, and justice seeming delayed. The preacher calls such comparisons vanity.
Neville's Inner Vision
All these scenes you call the world are moves of your own consciousness. The voice in Ecclesiastes speaks of a time when one man rules over another to his own hurt, and a time when the wicked are buried and forgotten; such images are the language of the inner weather, not distant fate. In Neville’s language, nothing happens in the outer except that your inner I AM arrives in a new mood. When sentences against evil do not come quickly, you grow impatient and project that impatience into your life; you are rehearsing the belief you already carry. The sinner who prospers and the righteous who suffer are two expressions of the same inner law, not separate destinies. The true work is to align with God, the I AM, the awareness that judges only from within. When you fear not before God—when you trust the inner law—you shorten the delay between state and expression. Vanity vanishes when you dwell as the living vision of the desired outcome, not as the spectator of an external theater. See the entire scene as the inner shift of your consciousness, and peace will be the outpicturing.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I am the ruler of my life, and the outer scene reflects the harmony I hold within. Revise any sense of delay by silently declaring, 'In this moment, I AM in perfect order; justice flows from my awareness.'
