It feels different somehow to theorize and to know from scientific evidence. I know now, from my own Fifth Yoga experiences and from the Bible Code, that you exist, my God. I am in awe – both fear and wonder. Yet how do I relate to Thee? There is still no sense of Presence, but I must reach out.
“Can you change it?” (The terrible future.) But who are we, so weak and puny? I have tried, but I have also sinned grievously, by omission and commission.
How do I relate to the new knowledge? I have emerged from the birth canal, but I have not yet met my Mother and my Father, though I know you are here. What must I do differently now when Iam in the Light?
Knowledge surpasses facts (as data interpretation surpasses raw data); understanding (theory, a flash of insight) surpasses knowledge (laws and regularities); but Gnosis (total insight, a meeting of minds as Thou), which surpasses all understanding, must be gained on the edge of Ecstasy – they say. I would not know.
Lo, He has built a Bridge, a path, a rainbow bridge across the chasm that separates us, a passage for the light to reach us and guide us, though attentuated by time, space and sin. (As light from early galaxies at the edges of the universe.) (As Shekinah is to the Godhead.) The saints helped build it; Mark and Esther passed over it.
So what is so shocking? I have known about You, even written about You, composed poems for You. But there must be a more vivid reality. People who lose a vivid faith are said to feel lost, shocked. Finding faith can be a shock too. Though in Amazing Grace it was different.
