Fragrance of the King Within
Song of Solomon 1:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays the king seated at the table while the speaker's spikenard releases its fragrance, signaling the inner Presence. It speaks of an inner aroma that testifies to divine worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Scripture here is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. The king at the table is your I AM, the awareness that presides over every moment. When the spikenard—your finest inner fragrance—sends forth its scent, it reveals that a settled, loving state has taken root within you. The aroma does not come from without; it is the vibration you have affirmed in imagination, a perfume that fills your room and day. To interpret it, do not chase experiences; revise your sense of self until you feel, here and now, that Presence sits with you, not apart from you. Assume the king's presence as a fact; breathe as if the room already knows your fragrance; let your imagination declare, 'I am the fragrance of God,' and feel your consciousness expanding with that truth. This is true worship: living from the acknowledged Presence within, until outer life simply reflects the aroma you have embraced.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the fragrance of God and that the king sits with you at your table. Feel the scent saturating your being and declare the Presence now.
