19. The effusions of the soul
I am happy to know that you are receptive to the effusions of the soul that teach more than books. It is fortunate for you that you have only experienced from the outside to the inside of the nominal universe, which allows mastery of the Self, rather than the experimentation from the inside to the outside, which risks letting the drop of water flow into the ocean with no possibility of return. Thus, integration is much more effective than disintegration and far less dangerous.
What is most difficult is to return to this state as often as possible and to increase its duration; it is a flowering that is always uncertain and must be prepared through long years of underground germination in the darkness of faith. And these very flowers must lead us to the fruits of the daily miracle, that is to say, to all power and all freedom in God:
Let us not be afraid of developing our roots in the darkness of nurturing faith for a long time, for when we germinate in God’s light, no storm shall be able to knock us down and the weight of our growth in heaven shall not be able to topple us into the abyss. (MR 21, 28)
You now know that divine solitude is neither sad nor abandoned, but it unites all solitudes in union with the Unique One, where there can be neither boredom nor sadness, as in the solitude of men.
The secret of the balance, of which you suspect the ultimate truth, is to possess your body in spirit rather than to disincarnate; that is to say, to possess the glorious body that can accompany us in the dwellings of the Father eternally, the glorious body of the risen Krist that ascends to heaven, instead of remaining in the tomb like ours.
