Inner Presence in Song 2:7-8
Song of Solomon 2:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites silence: do not stir up or awaken love until it pleases. Then the beloved voice arrives, leaping over mountains.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief passage lies a practical spiritual discipline. The so-called daughters of Jerusalem are not distant observers but the restless thoughts and images within your mind. They are told to refrain from awakening love until the inner timing is right, a moment determined by your state of consciousness. The beloved represents the I AM, the inner divine presence that moves with certainty when you have chosen inner stillness. When you align with the quiet, trust the inner cadence, and stop forcing outcomes, the beloved arrives with swift, enlivening energy—imagery and circumstance rushing forward as if mountains are being overcome by your conviction. This is not about external events but about a consistent inner state: feel already whole, already loved, already in union. The mountains you perceive become mere illusions dissolved by your decided inner present-tense reality. In this light, the page is a reminder: cultivate the still point, and your life will mirror the movement of the inner beloved, effortlessly.
Practice This Now
Sit in stillness and declare, 'I am the I AM; the beloved is within me, moving when I am ready.' Then imagine the beloved leaping toward you, overcoming inner mountains; feel the certainty of arrival as already accomplished.
