The Inner Garden Of Spices

Song of Solomon 4:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 4 in context

Scripture Focus

13Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
Song of Solomon 4:13-16

Biblical Context

The verses portray the garden as an orchard of fragrant spices and living waters. They invite the beloved to awaken and enter, tasting the fruits and drawing forth fragrance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s psychology, the garden is your interior state, and every spice is a vibrational quality you are free to assume. The pomegranate orchard stands for abundance and sweetness; camphire, spikenard, saffron, calamus, and cinnamon map the fragrances of your thoughts—joy, peace, desire, courage, gratitude—each a fragrance you can cultivate. The fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon declare that your inner life is a perpetual source. When you read 'Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south,' you are called to invite your attention to move through your mind, allowing energies to flow in and out until the garden breathes with life. Let your beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits—name the I AM as that beloved, and let the garden display its fruit as your lived experience. Practically, you revise any lack by assuming that this inner state is already fulfilled and feel it real in your chest, then watch as appearances align with it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the role of the gardener tending your inner garden; revise any sense of lack by imagining the spices flowing freely and feeling the pleasant fruits ripen in your chest as real.
