Inner Fragrance of the King

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the scene as a symbol of your inner state. The king is your I AM, seated in calm awareness, not moved by outward ages or appearances. The spikenard is a potent imagination awakened by the conviction that God lives in you now; when you imagine the scent lifting, you are practicing that God is not distant but present, a real odor your consciousness itself emits. The myrrh is the beloved’s sweetness—the beloved is your true nature, ever ready to lie between your breasts, between your heart and your mind, mediating fear and longing with rest. In this inner drama, the night is simply your quiet state of expectancy; there is nothing to chase outside, for you are already within the embrace of your own I AM. Rehearse this as you would a memory: feel the fragrance filling your space, sense the beloved’s embrace as permanent, and let every breath declare 'I am that I am' and thus your world rearranges to match your inner decree.
