Veiled Watchmen Within
Song of Solomon 5:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts inner watchmen who strike and wound the speaker and remove her veil, symbolizing internal judgment and the stripping of outward self-image.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your city of consciousness, the watchmen are your fixed beliefs about who you are. When they find you and wound you, they are the stubborn opinions that say you are lacking, not enough, separate from the abundance of life. The veil they take away is the mask you have worn—the outward image by which you think you must be seen. Yet the 'keepers of the walls' do not destroy you; they remove the outer covering so your true nature, the I AM, can be seen. The pain is not punitive but an invitation: it reveals where you have identified with a phantom self. By recognizing that these forces arise from within, you can revise the scene with the awareness that the I AM is your permanent identity, not the wound or the veil. Your dignity is intact; humility is simply quiet consent to the inner order. In Neville fashion, dwell in the assumption that you are the living consciousness that notices the event, not the event itself. The apparent public disgrace dissolves as you awaken to your oneness with the I AM, and the inner kingdom becomes your outward reality.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is the watcher in your inner city. Revise the scene by affirming: 'I am the watcher of my inner city; no wound can touch the essential I AM; I veil the old self and stand in reintegrated purity.'
