We have the sensory world, the world revealed to us by our physical senses, which is but a flickering in the deep expanse of the Infinite. We have presented to us the suprasensory world, the world revealed to us through Love. I use the words “revealed” and “presented” purposely. All of us see by the light of our physical senses. Yet this light extends into the darkness only so far, not very far at all. A greater realm of sight is presented to us and is ours if we but accept it and practice walking by its vision.
We move from sensory encapsulation, from tiny creatures blinded by our own light, to open radiance in which the entire cosmos becomes our home. We move from being creatures shining little flashlights in the dark seeing nothing but what the flashlight reveals to radiant beings in no need of blinding flashlights. We now see in the dark. And the dark is light, the light of Love.
I speak here not of physical love, though that has its place, but of celestial Love. The Cosmos is Love. And our Home is the Cosmos.
We move from being sluggish worms crawling the surface of the earth seeking what we might devour, seeing nothing but immediate gratification of need and want (what use can I make of that? how can this profit me?) to cosmic citizenry. The transition is more than from caterpillar to butterfly though that analogy has its merits. The transformation is from sensory being to spiritual being to celestial being.
This is the Call being made. Transformation to that which we already are. The reclaiming of our Birth Right.
