Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5:13–15 invites you to observe beauty as an inner state, not merely external ornament. The cheeks as a bed of spices and the lips like lilies are the fragrance and cadence of a mind that imagines and declares abundance. When you dwell as the I AM, these images become your inner reality: your thoughts clothed in gold rings and sapphires, your sense of self guarded by ivory and precious stones. The legs as pillars of marble set upon sockets of fine gold proclaim the steadiness of being—a consciousness resting on divine support. The countenance, Lebanon’s majesty, points to a lofty presence—God within you, excellent as the cedars. This is your provision: a wealth of vitality and assurance that can move into form as you persist in feeling and choosing this state. Do not seek the outside; inhabit the inside, and the world rewrites itself to match your inward vision.
