Ascending to the Palm Tree

Neville's Inner Vision

Song of Solomon 7:8 speaks to a state you can enter now, not a distant place on the map. The palm tree is the consciousness—your I AM—that stands in awareness; the boughs are the movements of imagination you may seize by a steadfast decision: I will rise in consciousness. To say, I will go up, is to acknowledge that you already inhabit the top of your life, and you simply turn your attention there. When you hold to that awareness, the 'breasts' becoming 'clusters of the vine' becomes a metaphor for your inner abundance flourishing under the law of assumption. The 'smell of apples' is the sensitive impression your mind makes when it believes and feels the wish fulfilled. In Neville's terms, the world is the outer sign of an inner state; your job is to dwell in that state until it thickens into fact. Do not chase objects; align with I AM and let imagination do the work, until what you desire is nothing but a remembered present.
