Read Song of Solomon 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

Song of Solomon 5:10-11

Biblical Context

The beloved is described as white and ruddy, with a head of fine gold and hair dark as a raven, signaling supreme beauty and inner value. It frames purity, dignity, and grace as a personal inner state rather than an outer attribute.

Neville's Inner Vision

I perceive the Song as a description of your inner state, not a distant lover. The words white and ruddy reveal a balance of purity and vitality in your consciousness. Chiefest among ten thousand declares your inner state as supreme and unique among the many possibilities your mind entertains. The head as the most fine gold is the crown of awareness shining in your thoughts, a radiance that cannot be dimmed by fear. Locks bushy and black as a raven speak of robust, assured thinking—deeply rooted in timeless truth. When you hold this image, you are practicing the law of imagination: you enter a state in which you already possess beauty, purity, and grace, and the world around you rearranges to reflect that state. The beloved is within you; therefore grace and favor become your natural atmosphere as you persist in this revision. You are not seeking favor from without, but awakening to the I AM that makes you beloved, supreme among ten thousand, eternally cherished.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and hold the feeling that I AM the beloved, the chief among ten thousand. See your inner image bathed in gold, with hair dark as a raven, and stay there until it feels real in your body.
