Honeyed Lips and Divine Presence
Song of Solomon 4:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pictures the beloved's lips as honey, suggesting sweet, nourishing speech. It also speaks of a fragrant, elevated presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Look at the line not as a historical image, but as your inner life. 'Thy lips drop as the honeycomb' signals speech flowing from inner sweetness—words that nourish, bless, and heal. 'Honey and milk under thy tongue' points to a richness already present in your consciousness, ready to be expressed when you refuse lack and dwell in abundance. The 'smell of thy garments' reveals a radiant aura—the presence of God within you, a fragrance of purity and height. In Neville’s terms, the verse invites you to acknowledge that God is the I AM within, and imagination is the tool by which this reality is formed. Practice by assuming you are the beloved whose words are honeyed and whose aura perfumes every moment; feel that you already carry nourishment and fragrance, and speak from that state. As you persist, outer life will echo the inner cadence, until your days wear the Lebanon-like fragrance of awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am honeyed lips, I am the fragrance of Lebanon, I am abundance.' Repeat several times, then speak or write with that feeling, sensing nourishment under the tongue and the aroma around you.
