Song of Solomon 4:5

Biblical Context

Plain summary: The verse likens nourishment to twin roes feeding among lilies, a symbol of inner vitality. It points to nourishment and purity of spirit rather than a literal image.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you the two breasts are not physical organs to be studied but images of inner nourishment. They are two roes that twin to feed the life that is your I AM. They represent two currents of life within you, receptivity and nurture, joined in the I AM and fed by the garden of your imagination. When you dwell in the consciousness that you are God in expression, these two faculties awaken and begin to feed the life you are forming. The lilies are the ordered beauty of your inner state; within that garden your nourishment flowers as sight, love, peace, and power. The verse invites you to see that the nourishment of life is not sought from without but supplied from within by your awareness. The twin roes feed on the lilies as you persist in the declaration that you are the I AM and that your desires are already satisfied in sensation and being. So cultivate a state, not a circumstance; let your inner God nourish your world by your attention and imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare I AM nourishing all life within me. Visualize the two roes feeding among lilies in your inner garden and rest in the felt sense of fullness.
