Dear friends, Lynn and I wanted to share with you how we see our work on this Gospel unfolding during each session. At least a week before each session you will receive the commentary for the analogue we will be studying. We recommend you print it. In Lynn's translation (The Luminous Gospels, by Bauman, Baurman and Bourgeault) the gospel is divided into analogues, seventy four in total. We recommend that you read the commentary carefully, probably several times. The commentary refers to images. They are NOT included in what you will receive. You will see the images during our time together and you will receive them afterwards for further reflection. We will begin each session with some silence. Lynn will then spell out the essence of the analogue. We will then open up the space for questions about the commentary. Using one or maybe two of the questions for reflections , which are included in the commentary, we will then break you out into groups...

SYNOPSIS Perfect Light is the complete and u...

Analogue 70 The Truth of Hidden Things At first the way in which God works to govern the creation was covered by the Temple Veil, but once that veil was torn and what was inside revealed, the outer form of desolation was to be abandoned and left to be destroyed. Then everything was to flee those external places outside the Holy of Holies where it is impossible to unite with the Light or with the unflawed Fullness. Instead all were to come under the wings of the Cross and within the embrace of its arms. This is the ark of safety for us, a place of refuge when the waters of cataclysm overwhelm us. In the priesthood there were those who were able to go inside behind the veil accompanied by the High Priest. So for this reason, then, the veil was not torn simply at the top so that it would be available only to those who are higher. Nor was it torn at the bottom to bring revelation only to those who are lower. Rather, it was torn from top to bottom, opening to those both above and b...
