Liber LXV, Cap. IV, v. 30-33
30. I came to the house of the Beloved, and the wine was like fire that flieth with green wings through the world of waters.
31. I felt the red lips of nature and the black lips of perfection. Like sisters they fondled me their little brother; they decked me out as a bride; they mounted me for Thy bridal chamber.
32. They fled away at Thy coming; I was alone before Thee.
33. I trembled at Thy coming, O my God, for Thy messenger was more terrible than the Death-star. -
- For the mind/scribe, experience of bliss that it partakes in, is intoxicating - it elevates and transforms the mind.
- The red lips of nature and the black lips of perfection: what is manifest (in own nature & life) and what is at the core of the manifest. Realization that everything that has been experienced - both that seemingly "outer" and the inner - has served to prepare the soul for this sacred Wedding.
- The commotion of thoughts ceases; Silence.
- The shadow of an object becomes more sharp the nearer it stands to the source of light. Ego feels "this is the end", and is shaken by fear.
