| BkI:18.IV.1 | Beloved creator of the holy, beautiful, and perfect! That irresistible attraction you feel in the depths of your soul to Jesus and Mary is nothing more than an accurate echo of the attraction you feel for your true self. It's a memory that lives inside you by which you remember who you really are. It is not the historical Jesus, nor the historical Mary, with whom you seek to join, but your real identity. Not only do you do it collectively as humanity, but also as individuals. Not only do you seek to identify with their figures, but with any figure that somehow you know intuitively can lead you to recognize your self. You feel it even though you can't name it. |
