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.

2I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

Biblical Context

Verse 5:1-2 depicts an inner garden of nourishment and invitation. The heart wakes to the Beloved's knock and responds as if opening to a divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your garden is the theater of your consciousness, and the Beloved is the I AM that you are. The feast of myrrh, spice, honey, and milk represents the rich impressions your imagination can pour into the moment when you assume presence. To eat and drink is to assent to a reality that already belongs to you, not to chase it elsewhere. When you say I sleep, but my heart waketh, you acknowledge that ordinary senses may rest while inner awareness remains awake, listening for the knock of your inner Beloved. The door is belief, and opening it is a decision of consciousness, a decision to identify with the I AM now. The dew on the head and the drops of the night signify fresh inspiration poured into your mind when you acknowledge that you are always present. Imagination creates reality; thus answer with certainty, let the Beloved enter, and find abundance within. Practice is the inner act of assuming presence and feeling it real.
