"This immensity is indescribable, and because of this the soul is dying of love" - Saint John of the cross

[@shambu48]

I want to thank you for the precious work you do.Resting and listening in the cool silence free's up my faculties to really "grok" the material in a way the reading does not;allowing a visceral subjective cognition of Self

[@SamaneriJayasara]

You're most welcome John

There are many voices of tranccendent reality, but His is my favourite...one to which I wish all could aspire. He found the truth that resonated within his soul, spoke it in terms all of the mystical bent can understand. What are you waiting for? Seek and you too will find.

Thank you

This is puzzling to me 🧡. He is in rapture. I too love dark of night, this winter. Maybe there is hope for me yet. I have a Jesus cross on my bed recently, and it helps me. Your style of reading is a beautiful wonder.

I've loved the words of the bodhisattvas, saints, martyrs, gurus, et al., the ones you've shared over time. The rose gold thread you tirelessly unspool, connecting each one... And I've followed that gleam, a dancing lure leading to the absence of words after all. At last, I saw my thoughts go down a waterfall. Samaneri 🦋 Jayasara, thank you. 🐈

St. John of the Cross influenced me when I was 19yo and til this day

This is so good. Thank you for creating this, and the other ones as well. Your voice and timing add so much to it. I can even understand it, beyond my own understanding!

Bles~sed St. John of the Cross “..no guide except for my heart; the fire..” Shall we dance as fireflies under the deepening dark of the Kali Yuga Moon ? then the harbinger of Hell shall ignite into the night as the herald of Heaven

Windfall of delight

[@otterrivers3765]

Oh cool. This first poem is "The dark night of the soul"! I love these writings. We need poetry to say what even the best normal explanation can't say.

[@otterrivers3765]

The heart can hear truths that the brain can't.

[@lillydeege8394]

This is utterly human and Duvine at the same time; Timeless as well 🙏🏼 Thank you dear Samaneri for making thuis accesceble. A true Gift. 🙏🏼💓

[@brettmiller7469]

Thank you for this perfect Gnostic gift.

[@danielwoulfe4280]

Neither st. John of the Cross nor his poetry even vaguely resemble gnosticism.

[@katialeitao2004]

@@danielwoulfe4280 I find that this work describes the universal orey that is found in each religion, including the Gnostic.

[@kselka1]

This isn´t gnosticism St. John of the Cross is considered a Doctor of the Catholic Church

[@densaakaldte1]

"Already at the start of his poem Parmenides mentions the essential thing for making the journey - the longing, the passion or desire. He’s taken to where he goes, but he’s only taken ‘as far as longing can reach’. We usually think of a hero as a warrior, a fighter. And yet what gets Parmenides where he goes isn’t willpower; it isn’t struggle or effort. He doesn’t have to do anything. He’s just taken, taken straight where he needs to go. And the longing isn’t what gets him there, either: the strength of his longing simply determines how far he can go." - In The Dark Places of Wisdom, Peter Kingsley

Porque cuando amas algo tanto y mueres eso te encuentras en escuridad a llegar a esa cosa
