The Map of Life. Part VII: The Winds of the Divine
October 11th, 2009 by Wayne (Wirs)
As the spiritual seeker stumbles further across the Bridge of Light, his footing gradually steadies as the last of his ego burns away in the power of the Divine Flame.
Resting easily now, standing midway across the vast expanse of the Bridge, the seeker looks down into the Pit and is surprised that what was once seen as an impenetrable and forbidding darkness is now seen as a glowing, radiant Light. Flowing upward from the Light is a warm, Divine Wind–the Wind of Passion, Love, and Wisdom.
Immersed in the Wind and Light, the seeker steadily makes his way across the Bridge. As he approaches the Plateau on the far side, he notices a shift in the Wind–a radical change in its direction. From behind, the Wind now blows through him.
In a moment of clarity, he realizes that his former, solid self, is now nothing more than a mere outline, a subtle archway, an open portal from which the Light and Wind flow through.

Just off the top of my head: This metaphor is beautiful and powerful. It reminds me of the shaman path of entering the unconscious and living the dream of all dreams: reunion with the divine. I also am reminded of the notion that we already are divine. Always were. THere is no bridge, There is no separation. Any notion of separation is ultimately illusion. Enjoy!
