Neville Goddard on Ecclesiastes 9:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 9 in context

Scripture Focus

14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Ecclesiastes 9:14-15

Biblical Context

A little city with few people is saved by a poor, wise man, but later no one remembers him.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s light, the city is your outward life and the besieging king is your fear and circumstance. The poor wise man is your quiet faculty of discernment—the inner wisdom that recognizes the next move and holds the solution before it unfolds. Deliverance comes not from public praise or visible triumph, but from a state of consciousness that asserts the answer already exists within. When the world forgets the savior, you must remember that true power is not in memory or accumulation, but in your inner I AM and its imagined, felt truth. Practice seeing your challenge as already resolved, and dwell in the certainty that your inner wisdom has turned the siege. The city’s fate is determined by the inner state you inhabit; recognition from others is incidental to the real victory won within your own mind. Your job is to align with that inner, unspoken deliverer and let reality conform to that perfected state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the posture of the poor wise man, seeing the city already delivered; revise the sense of lack by stating, 'In consciousness, the siege is over,' and feel the relief as if the bulwarks have fallen.
