| BkVII:17.II.11 | That is how light emerged in a world of darkness, and life of all kinds began to sprout in the barren land. Love was present in the realm of fear. Truth shone in the realm of illusion. Beauty manifested alongside fear. Thus was the atonement accomplished, so that the human who had denied love came to know the greatness of endless mercy. Thus humankind, who had previously known the beauty of creative love, came to know the grace of redeeming love, a dimension of love that they did not know before. |
