In the Fixed Stars, we can suddenly see the Soul’s Journey briefly through God’s Eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the spiritual state of Saturn concludes one might ask the recurring question in Paradiso – could we just stop now? Could we live the spiritual life from here with our new mission from Mars, the bigger context of reality and Being in Jupiter, and the infinite spiritual POWER source of Saturn?<\/p>\n

In many ways, yes.<\/p>\n

Just as Dante suggested that we can also feast for a long time in the Sun, in the newly awakened state, even without a clear sense of any spiritual “mission” in life.<\/p>\n

But Dante himself went further, and this is why we are now moving even deeper into Reality and into Being itself. In short, the unthinkable step Dante does from here, is to start inhabiting a view and partly experience, of God’s own Vantage Point. This is a dramatic departure from *everything* so far in Paradiso and the Divine Comedy, which is about the soul’s journey and development and growth in the reader, as a human being, as a living soul.<\/p>\n

And as we enter the spiritual state of the Fixed Stars, the infinite dimension is added as the second perspective and dimension to attend to and to apprehend, and the expansion is rather breathtaking.<\/p>\n

What Beatrice does at the end of Canto XXII (as the soul), is to lead the attention back onto the journey we’ve been through so far, but between the lines, we are now not only seeing this as one’s own experience, but how this looks also for GOD. A single soul rediscovering itself, the spiritual dimension’s presence during one’s life’s journey, the process of awakening and finding a mission – all of this are just tiny small motions for God, but joyful and shining little glorious fires of souls waking up and finding their origins and the bigger reality that they are a part of. Even the giant Eagle as a cosmic force to sustain being and mitigate the works of free willed souls going astray, is a “small” force or “tool” in the overall architecture and design of being over infinite time spans. And the soul’s discovery of Jacob’s Ladder, the path of mirrored insights back into the self and much deeper into the source, is equally a joy from God’s Vantage Point, of new connections, and Being rejuvenating in Truth, Virtue, and the fuller reality of existence.<\/p>\n

And things get recursive here too. The discoveries in the journey for a single soul, and then the infinite expansion of these discoveries as the soul reaches a capacity to ever so briefly “taste” a Divine perspective of this process, is still all a part of the plan, the structure, the design. All anticipated as potential, all leading to deeper joy and union of the souls with the spiritual realm.<\/p>\n

And this also leads to a bigger topic of intelligence and wisdom in itself. From the first page of sphere 8 – that of the Cherubim and Angelic Beings of Divine Wisdom, we are slowly beginning to see something else; that complete Intelligence is different from complex thinking or being “smart”, it is about eternal structures and Divine perfection in the architecture of Being and the patterns, on which reality itself emerges and manifests.<\/p>\n

So as we enter the Fixed Stars, we are both starting to sense the nature of Intelligence in a very different way, and we are beginning to see ourselves and Being not only with our own awareness, but in tiny glimmers through the overall view of GOD Himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
