What relationship can exist between the eternal and the temporal? Between the creative plan and the created plan? The divine and the human? These two worlds are like two interlocutors who are completely opposed, two strangers who are separated by everything.
Under these conditions, what relationship can be established and how can a bridge be established in order to be able to create the potential for an exchange? The creative plan is power and light. He must surround himself with veils and wrap himself in shadow so as not to consume the human being. Humans can only perceive what resembles them and what corresponds to them.
This shadow would therefore be the bridge, the correspondence between the creator and the created. It attracts humans because it is their extension. Humans find a familiarity and an atmosphere corresponding to their existence. The shadow creates a climate in which matter takes root and unfolds.
The creator projects his shadow, which invites humans to perceive and hear the whispers of the divine. The shadow cast from the light source towards the material creates a bridge. It unites pure light and the densest matter. It does not erase differences but allows contrasts and clouds to be projected into the heart of human matter. Because the important thing is not to see the divine, which is impossible, but to be seen by it.
Some humans are not perceived by the divine. But this exclusion comes from humans themselves, it is they who want to hide and avoid the shadow cast by the divine on them. Humans not oriented towards the divine dimension find themselves incapable of discerning its manifestation. It is not possible for him to notice it and understand its true meaning. With eyes and ears closed, he cannot read the messages of this shadow projecting his inner essence, illuminating his own contrasts and paradoxes. Because the divine is revealed by the cast shadow.
The shadow veils the divine but reveals matter. The shadow hides the source but causes contrasts in the human world.
The divine signals its presence by the shadow it projects and which humans recognize. The meeting is established. The divine is humanized by shadow. Humans are partly deified by allowing themselves to be penetrated by this shadow.
This shadow is light for those with eyes open to the divine dimension. But it becomes darkness in the eyes of those closed to all higher truth.
