Thoughts on The Mystic Portal
I am living the temporal humanity of Christ.
I bear His temporal pain and breathe His soul's suffering.
Yet only when the human is subsumed in His mystical Divinity
is there one Joy, one Love, the one Reality: God-Man.
Only then do the two worlds, temporal and mystical,
become one reality, the Divine Reality.
The temporal is a shadow of the full humanity of Christ
if without union in the mystical reality of His Divinity.
The temporal Catholic world is a holding cell
for passage through the mystic portal,
to become the full humanity of Christ in His Divinity,
to be fully one in the One in the one true reality.
(I hope I am stating it meaningfully, accurately;
words are incompetent secretaries to insights.)
It is something like this, and I must get through
the mystic portal with His physical and soul suffering,
in order to be in the true reality: one reality of oneness in God.
Do you see that the Sacraments, all of them,
but most frequently Eucharist in Mass
and Reconciliation in Confession,
are portal passage points
for the temporal to enter into the mystical,
and that without the One in reality of the mystical,
in these sacraments, there would be false reality?
Jesus in His full humanity
is the Divine ever-flowing into within the temporal.
He is not the temporal occasionally touching the mystical.
When we pain-bearing soul-suffering humans pass
through the mystic portal to be subsumed in His Divinity,
we awash the temporal in and by His living waters.
We then may fully live His humanity mystically Divine
as we are become one with the One Reality.

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives strength to the weary,
And to the one who lacks might He increases power.
30 Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
31 Yet those who [d]wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will [e]mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
