Thoughts:
The Bible (which translates simply as 'the book', and not some big hoo ha. It was a collection of local tribal tales...a good read in the desert nights...finally put together by some rabii's in the 3rd century BC. After much debate, many were kept out, while others were cut in half, but the Song of Solomon survived after an influentual Rabii rose over the protestaions of lesser minds, and insisted it remain. The Song of Solomon is all about bliss concsiousness and union with the Divine....ie : Yoga. Silly conservative fundie Christians can't stand it. So if you are confronted by fundie Christians...just ask them to read the Song of Solomon out loud to you...that'll shut them up) Sgs 1:1 The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's. Sgs 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine. Sgs 1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. Sgs 1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. Sgs 1:5 I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Sgs 1:6 Look not upon me, because I [am] black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept. Sgs 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest [thy flock] to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? Sgs 1:8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. Sgs 1:9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. Sgs 1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy neck with chains [of gold]. Sgs 1:11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. Sgs 1:12 While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. Sgs 1:13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. Sgs 1:14 My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. Sgs 1:15 Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes. Sgs 1:16 Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed [is] green. Sgs 1:17 The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of fir.
