Inner Gaze of Hair Imagery
Song of Solomon 6:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Turn away thy eyes because they overwhelm. The hair image depicts a lively flock, symbolizing abundant thoughts and life-energy around the beloved.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold how the soul speaks: turn your gaze from the outward spectacle, not to deny desire but to announce the only reality that never wavers—the I AM within. The beloved’s hair, described as a flock of goats from Gilead, is a dynamic image of thought-energy and creative movement that seems to scatter the mind in many directions. In Neville’s terms, you are not addressing a person across a room, but your own state of consciousness. The overwhelm is the mind clinging to form; the solution is revision—accept the feeling and immediately shift your attention to the inner throne of awareness. See the goats as countless tiny movements of consciousness, yet acknowledge that the watcher—your I AM—remains untouched and sovereign. When you refuse to follow every flicker of sight, you align with the truth that love is not an outer possession but an inner state that animates all forms. By choosing to turn inward, you invite a new abundance: the sense of being loved and empowered by God within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and imagine the hair as a living flock settling into an inner pasture; then say, I turn my eyes away from the seen and fix them on the I AM within.
