Even as we take this truth within, and realize that our souls own long dark night was just unrealized light within Her womb: "Makes the darkness bleed light". I love that. Everything that seems negative or dark has only worked toward unveiling the Light or the Divine artist's glorious gold...which will soon come out resplendent with all the Glory of God

Fascinating expression, that is exactly what happened at Calvary. It was the advent of darkness that caused the veil of the Temple to be rent.
Yes, within the very Womb of our Mother Above, the very seed of Light/Life itself [Christ], within the Radiant Blackness of Her Womb, burst the veil of skin, and came out bruised and crushed from it's long dark night. Blood is congealed light, that could not release it's Light until the Sun of this World became darkness...only then can we perceive the true Cross

During the early years of our Spiritual Path, we are confronted with Yahweh, who is austere, and we fear this Patriarchal God of the Law of Moses, who burns with fire and brimstone against his enemies.This "God is a consumming fire." His City is earthly Jerusalem and it's Laws the laws of Moses, it' seed is not virginal but born of duality.

Yet it is the Virginal Seed of Light, that "born from above" that once united with Mother Earth in her womb, abiding in darkness, that can come forth as "Coals of burning fire" that actually feeds his enemies, and gives them water... and lives by another Law the perfect Law of liberty.

In the Old Testament of the Patriarchs, we behave like Fundamentalists. When Grace and Truth comes we are reconciled with our enemies, and actually feeding and clothing them with Christ.

Like Moses fundamentalists cannot perceive the Glory of God within, they cannot see the Ground they are standing on is Holy Ground. So "Moses hid his face, for he was a frightened to look upon God." He could not see that his face contained the Glory of God and veiled it.

Paul also had a noumenal experience with the Light above the brightness of the Sun., that brings scales of darkness upon his eyes, that is the eyes of Saul, the most fundamentalist of all Fundamentalists. He made a career out of persecuting the Christ seed, until he had his Damascus experience.It was Darkness that fell upon Saul, that brought him low, into the dark night of the soul.There is no epiphany, no second coming until all the lights of our Letter of the word experience is shut down, it is only as we come to the total end of self and all it's beliefs, no matter how valuable and costly they seem to be, can we totally give up any hope of self achieving even one merit point." All men have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." Only God can perform anything that is REAL. It is because we cannot find the Glory of God without that we sin, we have fallen short because IT IS WITHIN.

The Most High God["the many breasted One"] can only come to us, when we know longer seek Her. It is like a man and his shadow. All that IS, the whole creation is our shadow, that will follow us of it's own accord, IF we do not try to follow after it.

Wisdom lies hidden in the dazzling obscurity of the secret Silence that which "is the principle thing" [King Solomon], outshining all brilliance with the intensity of Her darkness, and surcharging our blinded intellects with the intensity of this darkness, and surcharging our blinded intellects with the utterly impalpable and invisible fairness of Her glories which exceed all beauty!"

Unto this darkness which is beyond all earthly light we pray that we may come, and may attain unto this vision glorious through the loss of sight and knowledge, and that in ceasing thus to see or to know that which is beyond all perception and understanding....... this emptying of our faculties is true sight and knowledge.



"And think not, because I call it a darkness or a cloud, that it is any cloud congealed of the vapours that fly in the air, or any darkness such as is in thy house on nights when the candle is out. For such a darkness and such a cloud mayest thou imagine with curiosity of wit."

The Cloud of unknowing C.1400


"Why do we call the Divine Light, which enlightens the soul and purges it of ignorances, the dark Night? I reply, that the Divine Wisdom is, for two reasons, not night and darkness only, but pain and torment for the soul also. The first is, the divine Wisdom is so high that it transcends the capacity of the soul, and in that respect, darkness. The second reason is based on the meanness and impurity of the soul, and in that respect the Divine Wisdom is painful to it, afflictive and obscure also."

"This night I have already said that it's contemplation - produces in spiritual men two sorts of darkness or purgations comfortable to the two dividions of man's nature into sensitive and spirtual........ The sensitive night is common, and the lot of many; these are the beginners, of whom I shall speak first. The Spiritual night is the portion of very few; and they are those who have made some progress, exercised therein, of whom I shall speak hereafter."
Both from St. John of the Cross 1542-91

"Jerusalem which is Above, is free, which is our Mother...." St.Paul.

Everyone is babbling about what happens after death.
The intoxicated poet who belongs to Jerusalem Above
knows all opinions to be void of substance.
The mirror mind and rainbow body
are her marvellous play
through the transparent medium of her elements,
After death, her dancing elements flow on,
and simply Mother remains.
The singer of this liberating song
laughs loud and long:
"We will be in the end be
what we were in the beginning,
clear bubbles forming and dissolving
in the stream of timeless Mother Wisdom."

"God All in All." "The One in whom we move live and have our Being" St.Paul

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to men as it is...infinite!
William Blake
