Biblical Context

Verse 4:16 speaks of awakening the inner winds to blow on the garden of the soul, so the spices may flow. It invites the beloved to enter and partake of the fruit, signaling a deep inner communion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the north wind and the south wind are not meteorology but inner states of consciousness. The garden is your attentive heart, where spices like joy, praise, and love await release when the mind aligns with the Presence of God, the I AM within. When you say awake, you invite the winds to cleanse stale thoughts and stir living feeling. The beloved coming into the garden is not an event outside you but the recognition that the beloved is the I AM, the living presence you already are. Let the beloved eat his pleasant fruits means allow those realizations to become your lived experience—peace, vitality, and harmonious action. This is a call to practice at once: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, revise any lack into abundance, and dwell in the sense that God is present now. By sustaining that inner atmosphere, the spices begin to flow, the garden expands, and your outer life mirrors the inner unity of love and presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and as you exhale, imagine the north wind and south wind blowing across your inner garden; then picture the beloved entering and tasting the fruits, while you maintain the sense that the I AM is here now.
