The Song of Triumph
03.jpgTell me, O thou (you) whom my soul loves, where thou feedest, where thou (you) makest THY (your) FLOCK to rest at noon?
Behold, thou ART fair, my love; behold, thou ART fair; thou HAST doves’ eyes.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me WAS love.
His left hand IS under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
"My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
"For lo (him), the winter is past, the rain is over AND gone;
"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of BIRDS is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
"My beloved IS mine, and I AM his: he feeds among the lilies.
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away.
It is inconceivable that any anthology could be written wherein The Song of Solomon would not be included. It is really one of the most inspired parts of the Bible. The Song of Solomon reveals God as the Great Lover. It is ecstatic and thrilling.
In order to lead the triumphant life, you must be moved by Love, you can go wild in the joy of being actually drunk with the Spirit. In other words by singing the Song of God, you become God-intoxicated, and fired with Divine enthusiasm, thereby expressing more and more of Divine love and joy every day.
You sing the Song of God, or the mood of triumph, when you subjectively feel that you are that which your five senses tell you, you are not; you are then God-intoxicated and seized with a Divine frenzy—a sort of mad joy.
Haven’t you at times seen a person bubbling over with enthusiasm and intoxicated with joy? That person is singing the Song of God at that moment. "In thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
When you sing a song, you are expressing your whole nature; your mind and body enter into the song. When your heart is full of love and good will, and you are radiating peace, you are truly singing God’s Song; It is the song of the jubilant soul.
The real You is a spiritual, eternal, perfect being. You are a living expression of God now. "I have said, Ye are Gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
When you pray, it is a romance with God or your good. Your desire, when realized, brings you joy and peace. In order to realize the desire of your heart, which is depicted in The Song of Solomon as your beloved, you must woo it; let that desire of yours captivate, hold, and thrill you. Let it fire your imagination. You will always move in the direction of the desire which dominates your mind.
The majority of students of psychology know that The Song of Solomon is a beautiful description of the wonderful romance of the conscious and subconscious mind (Solomon and Sheba).
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loves, where thou feedest?
Your realized desire is he whom your soul loves. You are asked. Where thou (you) feedest?
In other words what are you mentally dwelling upon? The flock represents your thoughts, ideas, opinions, and beliefs. You are to feast on nothing but the joy of the answered prayer.
If you are saying to yourself, I can’t. It is too late now. I am too old, and I don’t know the right people
—in other words if you are mentally feeding on, all the reasons why you cannot do something, or be what you want to be, you not making thy flock to rest at noon.
At noon the sun casts no shadow; likewise, when you pray, you are not to permit any shadow of fear or doubt to cross your path, or deflect you from your goal or aim in life. The world of confusion shall be rejected, and you shall mentally eat of, or meditate on the reality of your desire.
"Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes." The dove is a symbol of God’s inner peace.
Once I talked to an alcoholic who said, Don’t say anything about this God-stuff to me. I don’t want God. I want a healing.
This man was deeply resentful toward a former wife who had remarried; moreover, he was full of grudges against several people. He needed the doves’ eyes, which means he needed to see the truth which would give him peace of mind.
I asked him, Will you pray with me now? All I ask is that you be sincere; if you are, you will experience an inner peace which passes all human understanding.
He relaxed his body, and I said to him, Imagine you are talking to the Invisible Presence within you—the Almighty Power which created the Cosmos. It can do all things. Say,
Thank you, thank you, for this inner peace.’ Say it over and over again."
After ten minutes in silent meditation, he was blinded by an interior, Inner Light. It seemed to come from the floor where he was. The whole room was flooded with Light!
He exclaimed, All I see is Light! What’s wrong?
Then he relaxed into sleep in my office, and his face did truly shine as the sun. He awakened in about fifteen minutes, and was completely at peace saying, God truly is! God is!
This man had found his Beloved; it had Doves’ eyes.
As you fall asleep at night, tell your desire how fair it is, and how wonderful you would feel in realizing it. Begin to fall in love with your ideal. Praise it; exalt it. Arise my Love!
Feel that you are what you want to be. Go to sleep in the consciousness of being or doing what you long to do.
I told a man in one of the islands one time to sleep
on the idea of success, he was selling magazine subscriptions. He became a great success by following this procedure: I suggested that he think of success prior to sleep; i.e., what success meant to him; what he would do if he were successful.
