Having found Divinity and having deeply internalized her Identification with the Divine, She moved ahead toward Eternity.
In this, too, She sought Herself, for She sensed that She had Always Been and Always Would Be: She knew that before the advent of cosmic and terrestrial reality She Herself had always
Existed. She was there at Material Creation, and She would Be whether Materiality endured or vanished. She was the Light that Shone in the Darkness, so that for her Darkness and Light were One: She was at once Darkness and the Light That Darkness Could Not Overcome.
Existed. She was there at Material Creation, and She would Be whether Materiality endured or vanished. She was the Light that Shone in the Darkness, so that for her Darkness and Light were One: She was at once Darkness and the Light That Darkness Could Not Overcome.
She ran now toward and merged with the Light.
She remembered Beasts, Goats, Rams, Locusts; she recalled Humanity in the Lion’s Lair and the Fish’s Bloated Belly.
Ahead she saw those street-corner beggars, history-scarred alley-dwellers, untended babies, cocaine-afflicted souls, opioid-obliterated bodies, alcohol-drowned spirits, priest-molested boys, family-abused girls, male-oppressed females, religion-attacked religion, humanity-murdered humanity. She saw the prevalence of ignorance, the toll taken by lives without Meaning.
Arriving at and merging with the Brightest Light, she confronted blindness, leprosy, all manner of corporeal and spiritual infirmity; She beheld with Wonder and Gratitude Her own Power to Heal. In the midst of the Brightest Light, she observed and merged with the Greatest Teachers:
She discerned that to be ignorant is to suffer, that suffering arises with incessant desire, that cessation of errant striving terminates suffering, and that Supreme Love produces Serene Gratitude, eliminating never-satisfied quest for excess.
She comprehended the Unity undergirding perceived opposites: Wealth and Poverty, Life and Death, Day and Night, Friend and Enemy, Male and Female. She felt the Power of Nature and filled herself with the Wisdom of Flexible Response to circumstances that are because they are.
And permeating Her Discernment, deepening Her Comprehension, was the Supreme Principle illuminated by the Brightest Light: the Power of Unbounded Love. She grasped the Power of the Life of Love, extended to all, with abiding intention to heal, empower, nurture. She beheld Meaning in the Life of Love, the only meaning in life that is the Meaning of Life:
She knew and would thenceforth proclaim that the Gate to Eternity opened to all of those who lived empathically in the service of each emanation of Divinity, with Love for all Humankind. She understood that the Legacy of such a Life would constitute Immortality, would inspire Remembrance Throughout all Generations.
