Neville Goddard on Song of Solomon 8:2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Song of Solomon 8 in context

Scripture Focus

2I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

Song of Solomon 8:2

Biblical Context

The verse invites the beloved to be led into a nurturing inner space where wisdom is imparted and the sweetness of guidance flows. It uses hospitality imagery to describe the inner relationship between awareness (I AM) and the self, where instruction and discernment are tasted as nourishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

This passage is a map for the conscious self. The 'mother's house' is not a place of flesh but a state of awareness in which the I AM nourishes and instructs. When you hear 'I would lead thee,' hear the call of your higher self guiding you into a inner sanctuary of obedience to truth. The 'spiced wine' and the 'juice of my pomegranate' symbolize the tasted, felt sense of wisdom—impressions that feel right and elevating. To practice is to assume you are already within this inner home, revising your sense of self to align with that wiser authority. In that felt reality, love and discernment flow as nourishment, and external troubles lose their grip as you dwell in the perception of being led by the I AM within. Hospitality here is the welcome of God in you, an invitation to live as your true, united self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are being led by your I AM into your inner mother's house; taste the spiced wine of wisdom in the imagination and feel its warmth as true nourishment.
