Scripture Focus

10How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

11Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Song of Solomon 4:10-11

Biblical Context

The verse celebrates love as something sweeter and more fragrant than wine or spices. It presents the beloved's presence as a scent and language that blesses the inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, the lines reveal a state of consciousness in which love is not a mere emotion but the very atmosphere of awareness. 'How fair is thy love' becomes a recognition that your inner world has worth and purity, a covenant kept in the now. The wine and spices symbolize transient appearances; yet the fragrance of ointments and the honeyed lips disclose the constant sweet quality of your mind when it is aligned with the I AM. The lips that drop honey symbolize the words that flow from your inner state, nourishing your sense of self; the tongue carries abundance, while the garments carry the Lebanon-scent of liberty and vitality. By honoring this fragrance as your habitual atmosphere, you live as though the beloved presence is already real—because in imagination, what you assume about your inner life becomes your outer life. So you revise lack by dwelling in a consciousness saturated with love, integrity, and divine dignity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am beloved; my inner life is sweet, pure, and fully alive.' Then breathe in the fragrance of harmony and let the feeling of it-real saturate your mind and body.
