Song of Solomon 3:11 · World English Bible
Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart.
The crowned Solomon here is the sun-mind lifted to its wedding day, the higher self at the hour it joins with the soul it has sought. The crown is the ring of attained light around the head, the circle of realized consciousness, and it is the mother who sets it there: the receiving soul, the deep feminine nature, crowns the spirit at the moment of union.

The crowned Solomon here is the sun-mind lifted to its wedding day, the higher self at the hour it joins with the soul it has sought. The crown is the ring of attained light around the head, the circle of realized consciousness, and it is the mother who sets it there: the receiving soul, the deep feminine nature, crowns the spirit at the moment of union. The gladness of the heart is the inner joy that floods a person when the 2 natures meet as one.
The daughters of Zion are the tender faculties of the elevated mind, called to behold this marriage within. Zion is the high inner mount, the raised place of vision, and its daughters are the finer powers born there that turn to witness the crowning. This is the person come to the day of espousal, when spirit and soul are wedded and a light long labored for finally rests upon the head.
Solomon: the sun-mind at its wedding, the higher self crowned in the hour of union with the soul Crown: the ring of realized light around the head, the circle of consciousness attained and set in place Daughters of Zion: the finer faculties born on the high inner mount, the tender powers of the raised mind that behold the union Zion: the high inner mountain, the elevated place of vision within the person
Esoteric lens
What in my life is already finished and whole, that I keep treating as unfinished?
The lover and the beloved turn out to be one thing wearing two faces, and the wedding is simply the moment that becomes obvious.
The seeker and the sought are the same Self. Knowing this is not a reward added to a person, it is the person at last whole.
After awakening, the ordinary face you were born with is the crown. Nothing was put on your head, the covering came off.
