Inner Royal Bride: A Neville Reading

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the garments carry the fragrance of myrrh, aloes, cassia: this is the inner atmosphere perfumed by states of consciousness you choose to wear. In Neville's terms, you inhabit an ivory palace of refined thoughts; the fragrance signals a harmonious inner climate that makes you glad. The king’s desiring stands for your awareness's preference for the qualities you value most—dignity, magnificence, order. The daughters of kings and the queen at his right hand symbolize your higher self in full royal posture—a confidence and value that money cannot buy, the felt presence of abundance when you align with the I AM. 'Hearken, O daughter' becomes your inner attention turning toward the inner ruler. 'Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house' invites you to relinquish outgrown identifications that keep you tethered to limitation. When you worship the king—affirm that he is your Lord, that the I AM is king and you are one with him—your beauty and power are desired into expression as your reality. The passage thus teaches that true kingship rests in conscious union with the I AM, not in external approval.
