I experienced a mild thrill, succeeded by a flame of anger, for I knew quite well that I was not a great man and suspected that I was being fooled.<br /><br /> The other side of the brook represented evidently the world I had left, and I looked at it to see where my footmarks entered the water; for I had a horrifying idea that I might discern (vide the poem) a string of idiots following them.<br /><br /> But the whole of that world lay in shadow, and, although I could perceive numbers of people moving about therein, none of them was clearly distinguishable, and any footprints there might be were quite invisible."<br /><br />My response:<br /><br />As J.W. Dunne perhaps knew, and I personally believe, is that it's through the shadow (the darkness, the yin, the blackening ) is where we must first start to find the light.<br /><br />As I'm sure you know water is a conduit to the other side, which like the vastness of the sea(see) has no edges.<br /> I personally believe and as I've stated many times on your blog, <br />that our Soul is connected to the vastness of God(the Divine).<br /><br /> When our Soul 'falls down' to this duality dimension to incarnate/incarcerate we are not alone, God never abandons us. However so many times we abandon our Soul (the darkness, the Yin within which is where ALL of the answers and the Sacred Science/Knowledge exist which God provides to us, much like a blueprint/map). <br /><br />When we ignore our Soul we succumb to our Ego which as I believe and have shared many times on your blog, I believe our Ego protects and pleasures the physical body only. <br /><br />It's our Ego that desires to be 'great' and leave physical footprints behind as if to say;<br />' look at me'. <br /><br />The Soul's objective through lessons learn and lessons taught is to help not only ourselves, but also our fellow man, to evolve spiritually so as to eventually earn the worth to be one with the Divine. <br />For the high vibrational Soul,t o be one (in pure spirit) with the Divine is Heaven.<br /><br />Also interesting your reference to God on your Left.<br />Here's your comment: "Then it dawned on me that, about a hundred yards to my left and slightly behind be God was sitting working with bent head at something of which I was ignorant." <br /><br />My response: Symbolically the left side represents either a female in our life or the female side of us. In other words; The Yoni, Yin, Water, Darkness, Intuition, Soul. Ra1119beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681807638651243468noreply@blogger.com
