Upon waking, my soul and heart of my heart whispers, “Make it right….make the Bridal Chamber within you your mirror of the world.” With this single knowing command, a truth is given….and lying at its heart, a wonderful mystery.
When I awoke, I entered this chamber within…I tasted divine union from its very beginning. I entered its mystery and knew its wonders. This is a mirrored chamber…which was one of the greatest of its teachers….the one silent gift and mysteries provided by the Gnostic writings….the mirrored chamber. I soon learned what this all meant for me. Stubbornly, in bits and pieces. I could not deny what this image had to teach me. And each time I return, everything is different, everything is new, and the reflection I see is always changing.
To get the mirror reflection right is my souls purpose and my greatest work. I am bequeathed this gift from the start, just as we each are. I learn how to make my reflection a clear image of the divine….so that on the day when I can no longer see who is the earthly self and the heavenly one, I will have won the message within the lesson of the mirrors of the Bridal Chamber…the place where the union rises from shadow into the light. Within this gift, I need no other path or Way or method, just continuing refinement as I make my image pleasing in the eye of the divine…which dwells within and shows me the way. I wait for the day when the eye of the divine is the same as mine. Until it is continuously known, I have more undressing, more stripping away, more shame to remove from this walk through the world.
It confers upon me many blessings, many gifts, which I take gladly and joyfully.
Everything for me becomes religion. A gaze, a smile, a walk down the street is all a-riot of this religion…trees swaying in a cool breeze as the whole world opens up and speaks to me. Every particle bears this. I feel so blessed. How can I ignore it? It is my salvation, my ransom…if I will but listen and know all of life is calling me into its mystery. It has been easy for me to focus only on the shadow in hopes of healing it, the residual which remains, and get down on myself, but I know in the love of this Presence within me that I am truly blessed. Am I whole, complete? I don’t know. I don’t pretend to know. I am being guided by a hand far superior to my own and like the bride, I return to the bridal chamber to learn more, to grow ever closer to my beloved. Here is where I seek to reverse the fortunes of the world I have known. It is here I seek to redeem, ransom, and save the past by healing it all.
All of this is ours. All of this is what we will each inherit. If not here and now, then in an infinity of nows. There is time enough and love enough for each of us to know it…..when we each are ready.
