A few weeks back as I was getting into bed I found myself awakening, coming into presence, with an unusually deep sense of a 'visible' umbilical spiralling out from the core of my being to the heart of God. The energy was wholly in the connection. My thoughts rushed towards the Bible, the Book of Proverbs. I can reason that very quickly. If our objective is contact then wisdom and understanding are the access roads - wisdom of the Holy Spirit - and this is what Proverbs teaches. Get ye understanding and wisdom ...
A day or so later with this event still fresh and an effective influence, this little gem was brought to my attention.

I've tried to find in that volume of Christian Mysticism writings where I read that that you mention (find the author of it), but there's no index, and I can't find it!
It's very mystical!
I think considering there are many selections from Bernard of Clairvaux' 'Sermons on the Song' it may have been there, or in the editorial intro material to it.
I read the Song of Solomon the other day, and wondered how I'd interpret it that was Work related, and I suppose one could say it is a dialogue between lower and higher centers, or between Observing I (or higher, like Master) and Real I (or even higher).
One thing it does obviously is it challenges one sexually in a way. The androgeny of the man (he is described as almost a woman) and the maiden too I suppose, working in the sun, in the vineyards (though that is less strange I suppose). It's like it is saying there is no gender in higher centers just as there is no positive/negative.
I'm just touching on a possible thing the Song communicates.
