Guarding the Inner Innocence
Song of Solomon 8:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These verses speak of an inner sister who is innocent and unformed. It shows choosing to protect and elevate her, whether by sturdy boundaries (a wall) or by noble shelter (a cedar-ed palace).
Neville's Inner Vision
These verses reveal an inner sister—innocent, unformed—whose day of speaking forth calls for a deliberate guard of your consciousness. The sister stands for a capacity of awareness not yet outwardly clothed in expression, and the question your I AM answers is how you will honor her now. The two images—wall and door—are your inner decisions about how to guard and prepare her for her future expression. If she is a wall, you build a palace of silver upon her; you invest value, reverence, and stable structure around her so that every thought about her magnifies her worth. If she is a door, you enclose her with cedar boards, establishing boundaries that prevent casual intrusion and preserve sacred attraction for the right moment. You are not tampering with her growth; you are provisioning your inner life so that the outward day arrives as a coronation of virtue, not a display of appetite. Your I AM, the aware self, regards this sister as holy and deserving of a worthy dwelling. Practically, you align imagination to honor and protect innocence until it may freely shine in your world.
Practice This Now
Assume she is already housed in a silver palace around purity. Feel the cedar-bound walls exist in your awareness, guarding her with dignified calm.
