Number of the Elect
We are His elect, we are the Fruit Bearers whose number is one-hundred-fifty-three. This is the number of the School, so very rare and difficult to find ... here working in the world, but no longer of this world.
Time & history are received into Heaven. We live in the presence of the world to come. Our footsteps in this new creation begin today and now in a Spirit fueled state - eschatology is our native state. Eschatological consciousness is the must-have state. No matter that it be temporary, redemption is rooted in the praxis of this soil. Real I exists above you now in time. Real I exists in all your time, always. I am. I am. I am looking for a response from within. A response to the beauty of creation and a response from God ... My sheep know my voice. (John 10:27) Heaven for us is redemptive, the aspiration of perfection and a measure of our love for God - the thirst of our souls. We work below from a heaven centred spirit ... In my Father's house are many mansions. (John 14:2)
Knight of the Inner Order
Parzival is the Knight who is walking within these symbolic realms. He knows that a car door is a portal between states and worlds. To the Knight of the Inner Order, this is all Real. The exterior world of objects (christmas tree lights, telephone boxes, doors & windows, unmade roads, blankets & bedding, horses & sheep, rolling mists, children in poverty, ice, watches and seasons) is a living non-verbal language of glyphs incised in the consciousness of the Wandering Knight: Opening of the Eyes = Renewal of the Oath of Service. We open our eyes each morning, blearily adjusting to the light of dawn. Mostly we are buried in the comfort of sleep but the Knight should know the meaning of the event and renew the Oath. Or as the great Johnny Cash sang it, "I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger travelling through this land below." Never forget it.
