Psalms 45:8

Biblical Context

Psalm 45:8 speaks of garments scented with myrrh, aloes, and cassia flowing from ivory palaces, symbolizing an inner prosperity and joyful state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Psalms 45:8 as a map of your inner wardrobe. Your garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia because you dwell in the I AM—the conscious sense of being wealthy, loved, and glad. The ivory palaces are the quiet throne room within, where imagination rules, and from that throne come perfumes that touch every facet of life. Myrrh teaches discipline in perception; aloes, forgiveness and peace; cassia, the sweetness of harmony. When these fragrances rise from your inner sanctuary, they testify that your outer world is already crowned with abundance. This is not a future promise but a present result of your assumed state. If you feel lack or limitation, revise the assumption: you are the one who already wears such fragrance, and therefore you experience prosperity, joy, and authority now. Let the feeling of being that king flood your senses until it feels real. The perfumes are the proof that your inner state is creating your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat, 'I am the fragrance of abundance; my inner palace clothes me in joy,' feeling the perfume rise in your chest until it feels real. Then watch for a small sign of that state appearing in the day ahead.
