Scarlet Lips of Inner Speech
Song of Solomon 4:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse compares the beloved’s lips to scarlet thread and her speech to beauty, while her temples resemble a pomegranate held within her hair, signaling inner richness visible outward. It invites you to see your own inner state as manifesting in how you speak and carry yourself.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's vocabulary the poem is a map of your inner life. The lips are a thread of scarlet, a living line drawn from the I AM within you, coloring every spoken thought. Your speech is comely because it reflects a state you already inhabit, not something you must earn. The temples, like a piece of a pomegranate tucked inside your locks, symbolize the inner seat of power where seeds of possibility lie waiting to ripen. When you perceive these signs as your present condition, you stop seeking approval outside and begin sculpting reality from consciousness. The outer world merely echoes the inner cadence you hold in awareness. Therefore, approach each word as an act of creation, each thought as seed, each feeling as the moisture that nourishes fruit. If you want grace and favor, entertain the feeling that you are already clothed in beauty, already speaking from a state of abundance, already governed by the I AM. Your imagination becomes the instrument through which this beauty manifests.
Practice This Now
Select a simple desire and revise your inner speech so it already bears fruit. Then close your eyes, feel the reality of speaking from that state, as if your lips and temples are alive with it.
