The soul moves in circles. It descends, forgets, and rises again through the long geometry of time. Every civilisation that looked at death saw this motion turning behind the veil of the world. The wheel repeats itself through Egypt, India, Greece, or the secret heart of Israel, pointing to the same transmigration. Its revolutions are…
The final lines of the Letter to the Romans contain the kiss of peace, the osculum sanctum. In the early assemblies, the faithful would exchange the kiss before the communion of bread and wine. Lips met as the sign that the same breath moved within them. The rite was simple, but its simplicity veiled a…
In the Letter to the Colossians, Paul speaks of a mystery hidden from the ages and now made manifest: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). I. The Fulfilment of the Body The phrase is literal, as it declares an indwelling presence, a Divine seed that must grow until it takes form in…
We are now in the season when the Sun moves through Scorpio. All Souls’ Day, and Dia de Los Muertos all mark the same threshold. Nature begins to withdraw, light fades, the days grow shorter, and roots feed on the fallen leaves. I. The Transformative Water of Scorpio Scorpio is the densest point of water.…
When Christ declares in Matthew 5:17, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish but to fulfil”, He invokes one of the most profound mysteries of Christian gnosis. The verb πληρῶσαι (plērōsai) means to fill, to make whole, to bring to completion. It…
In John 6, Christ acts within the second He of the Tetragrammaton: the plane of Assiah, the realm of form and obedient matter. It is the moment when the Logos touches the Earth and reveals that the visible world is not external to God, but His condensed cipher. The “multiplication” is a theurgical demonstration: Christ…
The ancient mind intuited that what appears is only half of what exists. The visible is the clothing of the invisible, the surface of the flame rather than its source. Kant gave this intuition a rigorous name when he spoke of the noumenon and the phenomenon. The distinction was philosophical, but it concealed an older…
A man once told a story about two fish. One asked: “How’s the water?”. The other had no idea what water was. This parable was retold by David Foster Wallace. But what he offered could stand beside any page of the Zohar or the Corpus Hermeticum. The parable that begins with a fish unaware of…
On October 13, 1917, the sky above the Portuguese hills in the village of Fátima trembled. The crowds saw the Sun move in a way that defied the geometry of heaven. They saw it shiver, whirl, descend, and return. The event later named the Miracle of the Sun marked the end of six Marian apparitions;…
The number 666 has been feared, condemned, and distorted, but its origin can be found in the Sacred arithmetic of Light. Long before it was cast into shadow, ancient magi recognised it as the numerical body of the Sun. When the numbers from one to thirty-six are summed, they yield six hundred and sixty-six, forming…
