18. So also the light that is absorbed. One absorbs little, and is called white and glistening; one absorbs all and is called black.
19. Therefore, O my darling, art thou black.
20. O my beautiful, I have likened thee to a jet Nubian slave, a boy of melancholy eyes.

It's complete absorption, in a black surface, requires a complimentary frequency of vibration, and that spectral resonance converts the light to atomic movement and, thereby, into heat.

This receptiveness goes beyond the gender-polarity, it's androgynous; for, in order to truly receive something, we must already have attracted it to ourself by the laws of our very nature, and vice versa, only what we are capable of receiving do we attract.

"But to love me is better than all things", says the Goddess, "Seek me only!". Thus is the Adept black by the virtue of his/her Love.

Everything I push
Its way

And now,
After a half-life
Of pushing,
My shadow
Is bigger
And deeper
And richer
Than me.

And it's so beautiful.
