Camphor in the Inner Vineyard

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this through Neville Goddard's lens, you are the I AM, and the Beloved is the awareness in which all scenes arise. 'My beloved is unto me' declares a state: the Beloved is not distant but within your very consciousness, your most intimate sense of Self. The 'cluster of camphire' is a concentrated fragrance—an atmosphere of grace that your assumption releases into your experience. 'In the vineyards of Engedi' marks the inner grounds you cultivate: Engedi is your sacred pool, your oasis of quiet confidence in God as now. Therefore, whenever you dwell in this perception, you become the one who perfumes his life with sacred presence; your thoughts water the vines, your feelings gather the fruit, and the fragrance rises as evidence of the Beloved's nearness. The practice is simple: assume the Beloved is already here, feel the fragrance of His presence, and rest in that inner reality until it becomes your outer seeing. The memory of lack is replaced by the certainty of abundance through inner conviction.
