Vineyard Within the Sun

Song of Solomon 1:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 1 in context

Scripture Focus

6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song of Solomon 1:6

Biblical Context

The speaker notes being marked by the sun and judged by others, and of tending others' vineyards while neglecting his own.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is a parable of states, not skin. The sun merely reflects your present self-conception; the anger of 'my mother's children' is the resistance of a former self to change. In Neville’s technique, you do not change the world— you shift the inner assumption. Begin from the premise: I AM that I AM; I own my vineyard. The 'black' condition is a color of your current inner climate, not a verdict upon your worth. You have tended others' vineyards (occupations of service, appearances, judgments) while neglecting the vineyard within—your own discernment, desire, and peace. Reimagine the inner field as flourishing under your consciousness. See the sun as your awareness bathing it; hear the call to tend your own harvest with joy. When you assume the feeling of completion, the external image shifts to match that inner reality. The eyes that looked on you now reflect your own inner light; you are no longer defined by sun or others but by the I AM that dwells in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and picture your inner vineyard thriving under a clear sun. Rehearse the revision aloud: I AM the keeper of my own harvest, and I feel it real now.
