Neville Goddard on Song of Solomon 1:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 1 in context

Scripture Focus

7Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

8If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

Song of Solomon 1:7-8

Biblical Context

The passage presents the soul seeking true nourishment and guidance, encouraging the seeker to follow inner guidance and tend the mind's young desires near the source of divine shepherding.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your soul’s cry, 'where feedest?' is not about geography but about the state of your awareness. Nourishment, rest, and love are found wherever I AM dwells as your constant awareness. If you do not know where to feed, do not search outside—assume a new inner posture. Move by the footsteps of the flock in imagination, tracing habitual patterns of thought that lead you toward the divine presence and away from the flocks of thy companions—the old identifications with lack. The line 'feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents' invites you to nurture the little ones within your mind—the hopes, fears, and newborn desires—right where disciplined, shepherd-like consciousness abides. When you dwell in that tent of I AM, you align your inner city of thought with the truth of God’s care. This is not a change of place but a change of state: you become the nourishment you seek by living as the consciousness that feeds all your faculties.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume you are already where you wish to be; close your eyes and say 'I AM.' See yourself walking the flock's steps into the shepherds' tents and feeding your inner children with the nourishment of divine awareness.
