(“Si non credideritis, non intelligetis”Isaiah VII: 9L'Ange Albe)“Everything, except God, has in itself some measure of privation,Thus all individuals may be graded according to the degreeTo which they are infected with mere potentiality”Was there not an inconceivable loss of knowledge at Bethlehem?Christ's abasement, His subjecting Himself to the laws of human birthAnd growth and to the lowliness of fallen human nature...Did the Son remain the transcendent Logos,Is there not a radical and fatal discontinuity between the consciousness?Of the transcendent Logos and the secular Jesus?Obedience to the point of death,Falling down through increasingPressureInto the deathlike regionOf ooze and slime and decayThese are the fruits and symptoms of the abasement of the World,The assumption of humanity and the simultaneous occultation of Divinity(ImmaculataDu wirfst mich in den Moderstaub des Todes)“And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist”Triune God,Morphed into a Being of apparent theanthropic natureDeprived of the Light of SplendorDost thou still stand in undiminished MajestyAfter the exinanition of divine attributesThe face of profound fire gone astray,Exhaling austerities in concealed, divine radiance?Kenosis, O' theory of great peril!Blinded, sanguineous eyes and with a trembling hand,A frail androgynous being holds the perilous doctrinal balance,Robed in a maculated garment spattered with the sordid bloodOf the Flagellation, of the lacerations and fierce woundsCarved by royal attributes, of the crimson spurtsDripping without end,As was celebrated the High Mass of the ComforterKenosis, O' theory of great peril!Rob God of any attribute and fill the shattering universeWith the pestilent scent of putrefaction and the glorious cloud of death,For steadfast, at any cost, He must beSolely the incarnate Word proclaimed by all the prophets and apostlesWould have, in dying, an infinite value,Sufficient to atone, by His astonishing work,For the Sins of the worldRes rapta...Res rapienda...Hast thou succumbed to the original malady?“For being empty himself, He giveth empty answersTo empty enquirers; for whatever enquiry may be made of Him,He answered according to the emptiness of the man”In visceribus...A willing expiatory Victim, calling constant shame and ignominy upon itselfWas thine irretrievable substance still intact in this Sinai of global Penitence,Dost thou remember thine past Theophanies, the burning bushAnd the Angel of the Lord?(Et vestitus erat veste aspersa sanguine“Le fond de ma pensée est que dans ce monde en chute toute joie éclateDans l'ordre naturel et toute douleur dans l'ordre divin”)“In the next place, it never approached an assemblyOf righteous men; but avoideth them,And cleaveth to the doubtful-minded and emptyAnd prophesieth to them in corners,And decieveth them, speaking all things in emptiness to gratify their desire...”Art thou working on collective deliverance?Observe Merkabah, the chariot of the glory of GodAdrift and exiled, the Pilgrim of Light, grandiose and weepingThine aura, compared, is but pale and frail, alike to the one of an ailing child...Vacillating faith, thine salvific virtue shall fail to make nilA cataclysm of JudgmentThe suffering of the Just shall be aggravated in grotesque proportions,Pillaged, ravaged, overthrownThe realms of warmth and reassurance, of a maternal womb,Shall disappear gradually under the crumbling yoke of Sin and Time...The advent of Plerosis is the destiny of Man and shall shatter up to the Heavens,A savage aperture to the High Mass of the Comforter:“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed,Not only in my presence,But so much more now in my absence,Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling...”
