Read Song of Solomon 2 in context

Scripture Focus

12The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

13The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Song of Solomon 2:12-13

Biblical Context

The verse paints a springtime of nature—a language of flowers, birds, and ripening fruit—that signals renewal. It ends with an invitation to arise and come away, inviting union.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the flowers, birds, and ripe vines are not external scenery but the inner weather of consciousness. In Neville's Bible-language, the earth’s blooming becomes a symbol of the mind awakened to its own possibilities. The 'land' is the undivided I AM in you; the voices and fragrances are the inner movements of desire and decision. When the verse says, 'Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away,' it is a call to shift your sense of identity from sleep to awakening, to rise from lack to abundance. The fig tree putting forth green figs and the vines giving a good smell represent a renewal of your inner world—growth, sweetness, order, and harmony flowing from within. You are told to recognize that creation occurs as your awareness shifts. The time of singing indicates a moment when imagination has connected with the natural order inside, so that what you perceive outwardly mirrors your inner state. Practice: decide now that you are the I AM, the one who arouses and moves through life, and feel the world respond from that realization.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: 'I am awakened; abundance is my natural state.' Sit with it for a few minutes, imagining the flowers and birds as signs you are awake.
