Time as a Symptom of Slowness; Consciousness Moves Towards Subtle Light

Existence sown in God is, in its origin, a supremely swift, luminous existence. The material worlds we see around us are only the shadows of this light — “darkness” — where it struck the veils of Concretion and the moulds of dense matter. In the vision I am grounding, I see the authentic human being as a creature of light with a deep memory of his origin. He remembers with certainty that he is a word God cast forth, which slowed and thickened until it became concrete, and he now strives with all his powers and all his consciousness to return this Concretion to its luminous origin and its world of Abstraction, through the gateway of knowledge and sincere work as a vicegerent. The sovereignty of abstract meaning whose pillars I am raising rests on seeing the world as an eloquent divine poem written in ink of condensed light, where there is no room for chance or futility. My journey of discovering existence sown in God has now reached the platform of true calibration, where there is no magic and no superstition, only precise laws of existential broadcast and reception. Matter is nothing but a slow channel of communication, while Abstraction is the subtle, spacious horizon of the Spirit once it is freed from its fetters. A human being’s true elevation lies in not being deceived by the slowness of the image and the heaviness of movement in concrete reality, but in perceiving, with the eye of insight, the swiftness of the origin in the First Source. From this point we shall later come to understand how the speed of light forms an existential barrier, a thin membrane separating the worlds of matter from the worlds of the Spirit — the membrane we strive to pass beyond in consciousness, so that we may return as pure lights in existence.
