Song of Solomon 5:14-15

Biblical Context

The passage dresses the beloved in regal imagery—gold rings on the hands, ivory belly with sapphires, and marble legs—signifying strength, dignity, and steady presence. It presents an inner, enduring state mirrored by a majestic outer form.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, all outer magnificence is a map of your inner state. The gold rings on the hands symbolize the active I AM, the assured action of consciousness that names reality. The belly described as ivory overlaid with sapphires marks a pure core—desire purified by wisdom, appetite guided by intention. The legs as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold, reveal the steady support of a mind that stands firm upon its chosen state. When you dwell on this image, you are not praising an external person; you are acknowledging the inner self you have already created by awareness. Your countenance, as Lebanon and the cedars, proclaims a Presence that can be seen only by the night of your own quiet conviction. Practice: assume this image now; revise any lack into abundance; feel it real that you are the very image described. Say inwardly, I AM this strength, beauty, and dignity, and let the vision dissolve any doubt.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the image now: hands as gold rings, belly ivory with sapphires, legs as marble pillars in gold. Feel the Presence within and softly repeat, I AM this state now.
