Wall or Door: Inner Sanctum

Song of Solomon 8:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 8 in context

Scripture Focus

9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Song of Solomon 8:9

Biblical Context

It speaks of honoring the beloved by creating secure, dignified space around her, either by elevating the inner state (a palace) or guarding it with firm boundaries (cedar boards).

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, the wall and the door are not literal persons but states of consciousness. If she is a wall, you build upon that wall a palace of silver in your imagination, symbolizing refined value and radiant life around the inner self. If she is a door, you enclose the door with cedar boards, establishing protective, virtuous boundaries that keep the sacred life pure and clear. The only agent here is the I AM within you, the architect and governor of all inner conditions. When you imagine these structures as already real, you declare that you are worthy of a protected, dignified heart and that reality will reflect that worth back to you. This is the Neville method in practice: let your feeling of the wish fulfilled precede external change; let the inner sanctuary stand completed in your mind, and your world follows. By such revision you align your feeling with the truth that imagination creates reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; decide to be the wall that guards the sacred inner life, or the door that keeps it pure. Image a silver palace built upon the wall or cedar boards enclosing the door, and feel this inner structure as already real.
