Palm Tree of Delights

Song of Solomon 7:6-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 7 in context

Scripture Focus

6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
Song of Solomon 7:6-9

Biblical Context

The passage extols beauty and delight, using palm and grape imagery to express attraction and invitation. It presents love as a joyful, cultivated inner movement that invites response.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these verses are not about another person apart from you, but about your own consciousness waking to its beauty and its abundance. The palm tree stands as your steadfast I AM—tall, centered, and inexhaustibly alive with possibility. When you declare, I will go up to the palm tree, you are choosing an ascent in awareness, a decision to bring the entire richness of your imagination into the present scene. The breasts and grapes symbolize the clustered fruits of your ideas, the abundance that arises when you dwell in the feeling of fullness. The scent of apples is clear perception, a fresh aroma that makes every moment sweet. The roof of the mouth, like the finest wine, stands for words that flow from inner knowing and thereby awaken the sleeping lips of your inner world to speak truth. Practice this as a nightly ritual of assumption: stand in the palm tree of your being, revise lack into fullness, feel the wine of your own speech, and watch your inner reality respond with love and vitality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are already under the palm tree of your own being, feeling fullness as your natural state. Speak softly to yourself a line of gratitude, revise lack to abundance, and let the feeling of 'it is done' flood your heart.
