Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. What! Wouldst thou wit thy Lord's meaning in this thing? Wit it well: Love was His meaning. Who shewed it thee? Love. Wherefore shewed He it thee? For Love. Hold thee therein, and thou shalt wit it more in that same. But thou shalt never wit therein other without end. This is the key to the true interpretation and criticism not only of Mother J uliana's Revelations, but also of the Christian revelation and of every religion so far as it reaches after the fulness of Christ. Nay, it is the key to the riddle of Nature and to the riddle of human life - all alike in their several ways are Revelations of Divine Love - however hard at times it may be for Faith, with tear-dimmed eyes and trembling fingers, to unravel the knot. Wit it well: Love was His meaning. Who shewed it thee? Love. Wherefore shewed He it thee? For Love. Beneath the life Of those senses which reveal to us that world of appearances, which the unreflecting so easily confound with the realitywhich it only symbolises; beneath the life of the understanding, whose forms and frames (contrasting in their permanence and universality with the un steadiness and uncertainty of that chaos Of fleeting phenomena which they but classify and set in order) have seemed to some to merit the name of Reality; beneath even the life of the higher, though self centred and self-regarding emotions and sentiments, aesthetic or spiritual; deep down at the very basis of the soul, is to be sought the only life that in an absolute and independent sense deserves the name of real, because by it alone are we brought into conscious relation with other personalities, and made aware of our own. Whatever else we call real is so, but in some secondary and derived sense. Only in so far as it resembles a person can we think Of it at all, and only in so far as it affects a person, ourself or another, can we desire it or care about it in any way. It is precisely by love and its dependent affections that we are brought into conscious and act
