Neville Goddard on Song of Solomon 5:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

Song of Solomon 5:1

Biblical Context

The speaker declares they have entered a lush, intimate garden and invites friends and beloved to share in the abundance of its sweetness and nourishment. The passage celebrates inner richness and divine presence as nourishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

I am come into my garden is not a movement through space but a conscious act of awareness awakening to its own estate. The garden is the field of your mind; the sister and spouse signify your intimate unity with God as I AM. The gathered myrrh with spice, honeycomb with honey, and wine with milk symbolize inner riches you may savor: refined perception, joyous sweetness, nourishing faith, and productive imagination. These are not edible foods but the states of consciousness you cultivate. When you invite 'friends' and 'beloved' to eat and drink, you invite the various aspects of yourself—your relationships and your deepest self—into the shared reality of abundance. Practically, assume you already possess the fullness you seek: feel the feast of awareness as present, and let the I AM presence saturate your senses. In this way, the presence of God becomes your natural, felt state, not a distant promise.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine stepping into your inner garden; feel the abundance rising, and declare, I AM here. Then let yourself feast on that feeling until it becomes your daily reality.
