Inner Timing of Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 shows that success is not secured by speed, strength, or wisdom. Time and chance affect everyone, and danger can suddenly overtake any life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Under the sun, Solomon observes a truth the gospel of consciousness affirms: outcomes are not fixed by our speed, strength, or wisdom, but are drawn into form by the inner motion of awareness. In Neville’s language, time and chance are not impersonal accidents but the outward weather of an inner state imagined and held as real. If I am identified with lack of timing, I experience the surprise of evil nets and sudden snares—my own dream catching up with me. But if I awaken to the I AM that I am, the race and the battle comply with my inner decision. By imagining the end desired as already mine, I’m not chasing events; I am aligning with a timeless presence that governs both plan and surprise. The moment of breakthrough arrives when I cease resisting the flow of inner guidance and treat every situation as a manifestation of my consciousness. The apparent randomness fades as the self becomes aware of its own control over the sequence of events.
Practice This Now
Practice: In a quiet moment, assume the feeling, 'I am guided by inner timing; the right time and the right chance are now mine.' Hold that image for a few minutes, then rest in the sense that what you desire is already here, regardless of external pace.
