“The kingdom of heaven is within”
Luke XVII, 21
Our dimension of depth is our path of elevation. Perceiving and experiencing our dimension of depth is identical to discerning the divine presence within us. But these inner abysses have no bottom, they represent a path and a future. AND not a destination.
As one’s inner dive progresses, one senses a greater depth within oneself and also through reality. His interiority resonates with the vision of his reality. But the first steps towards oneself can be difficult, even painful, because the dimension of depth does not prevail over any certainty, any power, any mental knowledge. To free oneself from its surface is to escape from the prison of the little self.
It’s a tabula rasa of his little self, a tabula rasa of his conscience. The more he dives into himself and the more he realizes his separation from the absolute, and the more he realizes the immense depth of the mystery. The more he discovers his interiority, the more he realizes his shortcomings. This feeling of an infinite path that gradually opens up can make you dizzy, can strike you with a feeling of helplessness. What a long way to go… The more the vertical path opens, the deeper the abyss becomes.
This feeling of diziness, of being suspended on the edge of the world, on the edge of one’s true being, is overwhelming at first. But little by little it becomes the springboard for a higher extension, it becomes the slide to a greater depth. It is no longer a question of up or down, inside or outside; but of simultaneous elevation and depth.
The living being in the fullness of his interiority, who goes through his own mystery in the oceanic constellation of the divine, very often goes unnoticed. Rather discreet and ordinary, it should be discovered gradually.
