Song of Solomon 1:3

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of the fragrant gift of God's ointment upon the beloved. This fragrance makes the name shine and draws the pure-hearted to love.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the savour of thy good ointments is not a bottle of spice held outward; it is the inner fragrance of the I AM you awaken to in stillness. When you accept that your name is indeed as ointment poured forth, you are not boasting but recognizing your true nature: presence that soothes, persuades, and draws love without effort. The virgins love thee because they sense, in the stillness of your attention, the divine anointing shining through your being. The verse invites you to cultivate a consciousness that perfumes every moment: your feeling of being contained within the one I AM becomes the fragrance others feel. Do not seek proof in the world; let your inner ointment flow and your name will be seen as the scent of God in form. As you dwell in that consciousness, the outer world rearranges to reflect the inner aroma: affection, harmony, and faithful attention born of presence.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are the fragrance of God, poured forth. See yourself moving through rooms as a soft, inviting presence; as people respond with love and openness.
