To Elevate or Transform?
Mystically and practically there's a
difference between elevating sparks trapped in darkness and exposing the light
which comprises the darkness itself.
One's an escape. The other is a
transformation.
One merely ends a phase of exile. The other
brings on new stages of enlightenment within a messianic era.
------------------------------------
Our deeper selves yearn for divine
manifestation! Call it the messianic era or universal enlightenment, the basic
underlying idea is the same.
Whether “down to up” or “up to down”,
there’s yearning for Source. We are sourced in both the Light and in its
disguised form, the darkness. We are sourced in both the divine masculine and
in the divine feminine.
When the pre-Genesis Light and darkness
polarized, separating out in the story of the vacated space, the darkness took
the best and the brightest of the Light. It was thereby endowed with the
capacity of suppression, the capacity to remain silent, the capacity to hide
its identity, the capacity to become dark!
Since there’s only Light there was nothing
else to make darkness from, other than from Light itself. Darkness is nothing
other than suppressed Light. What’s suppressed tends to evoke a sense of
mystery. Hence, it’s the norm to find darkness mysterious. But, that’s not its
fullness of attraction, only its antechamber.
Deeper in, the attraction is because
darkness holds some of the Light, some of the Source of everything else.
However, it’s not just any level of the Source. However, in some sense, its
highest quality; as it takes more capacity to suppress the Light than to
express it.
This is why to escape into a life of
meditation and slip exclusively into the transcendent Light, is to miss the
point. Yes, we need some of that, perhaps even a lot of it. However, not all
the spiritual lights we need to access can be accessed that way. Not all the
spiritual lights dwell in heaven. Much of it is suppressed down here. To dwell
in “father sky” is to miss “mother earth”. It’s to fly with only one wing and
not with the other.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe teaches that the
reason that in our days miracles usually do not override nature is because such
miracles are missing the main male and female union. When miracles occur within
the boundaries of nature then the female side of reality gets her equal share
of participation. There’s a real union ~ as the male teases out her suppressed lights,
stimulating them into manifestation.
