Gates of Fragrant Abundance
Song of Solomon 7:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of mandrakes' aroma and fruits at the gates laid up for the beloved, signaling the inner abundance prepared for intimate companionship.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read these words is to recognize that the mandrakes’ aroma and the fruits at the gates are not external signs but inner states of fulfillment. The beloved stands at the door of your consciousness, and the orchard of every gift is already prepared within you by your imagining. When you acknowledge I AM, you unlock the gates and let abundance enter. The fragrances you smell are the feelings of fulfillment—joy, safety, covenant loyalty—rising from the awareness that all you desire is stored in your inner treasury. The phrase I have laid up is a decree you can repeat: in imagination you have prepared the good for yourself and your beloved; you and the beloved are one in the I AM. Practically, you live not by outward signs but by the conviction that your inner state creates reality. The gates are thresholds where your consciousness blesses the world by its inner richness. God, the I AM, is your present awareness, and every blessing is already yours.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM presence at the gates of your mind. Imagine the mandrakes’ aroma and the orchard of gifts laid up for you, and feel the reality as if it is yours now.
