Lebanon Within: The Inner Ascent
Song of Solomon 4:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Song of Solomon 4:8 invites the beloved to leave the Lebanon of former states and ascend to a higher vantage of consciousness. It points to an inner union with the I AM that transforms how you see and live.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let the invitation be heard as a command of consciousness: come up from Lebanon, not in space but in state. Lebanon is the high place your awareness already longs to inhabit. When you join your spouse—the I AM within—you stand on the summits named Amana, Shenir, and Hermon, but these are inner heights, not external ranges. From that vantage, the fears and fierce thoughts—the lions' dens and the mountains of the leopards—lose their power, for you see them as movements of imagination, not realities. The scene asks you to leave the lowlands of limitation and to view all outward conditions as inner pictures you are free to remold. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you align your present experience with a higher principle. Your consciousness becomes the creator, and the world shifts to reflect the I AM that watches over all. The God-Self is not distant but intimate; in this moment you are being invited to claim that sovereignty and dwell where sight becomes creation.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, declare 'I am the I AM' and revise your state to the top of Amana; feel the view from Hermon and know the scene you desire is already done.
