The Bird and The Dove
He was like a bird seeking shelter. The secret place is just under the
roof of the house,the highest place and closest to Heaven. The secret
place of the Most High. Jesus alone was the soul's love, most noble.
Therfore her affections of her bridal soul rise Heavenward.
Christ is as that bird seeking a hiding place from the cold night air.
And also as a white dove, most pure,,with drops of dewy grace on His
feathered wings.Her heart is contained within a human vessel and in
order to process this treasure,although he could have chosen another
way,Christ chose to win her by passing through her humanity.
In carnal love making there is a struggle to climb to the highest,the
place seemingly witheld until at last they obtain. Christ's life goes
from one bliss to another. Gentle ,stream,,,to river,,,to Ocean .
There are few souls who believe He would want to pour out Himself to
the bride soul in this most sublime way but He is Love. The prized
extracts,drops of mercy from the deep well of His Heart. These are
precious and costly.As she carries these in her heart she may distribute
these to whomever she pleases so the soul looks for oppurtunities to do
just that, but yet never to be taken lightly.
The Spirit,soul and body rejoice as Christ occupies the space
underneath the roof.
He may whisper. She knows His voice,day or night,during prayer or
everyday tasks and the soul must respond with a holy kiss heavenward for
in Christ she is complete.

It is not complete yet but it is beautiful enough at this point to
share.
We need to include of the Father Jesus spoke of. The Father, Divine Love
of the New Testament,not the old tribal God of the Old Testament. For He
and the Father are One.
The words are difficult to find for how does that saying go,,,,when I
was a child I thought as a child,I acted as a child, etc. But as the
soul grows or grows up or reaches higher levels G*d becomes the Divine
Beloved.
In that Dark Night the chalice of the soul must be emptied so that it
can be filled.
And the words to describe ? Krishna said become as a little
kitten,,helpless and meeuuu and cry out. How can the Divine resist but
come? The soul lost and alone....... and the Divine answers.
Can I say I was physically knocked over? Each cell alight with
Love,Divine. I was scooped up and my soul taken down the long,long
journey to its very beginning. And of this I will write of at a later
time.
I realize that had we been raised in the Buddhic tradition we might
well be trying to write in those terms but this is what we have and the
words for such a special experience are often hard to find.
Blessings to all,
+ Maureen
