PHASE VI
TRANSFIGURATION: GLORIOUS EMERGENCE
“Who is she that
looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as
an army with banners”
Song of Songs 6:10
The last phase of the Journey of the Scribe is the
apotheosis of the Sojourner, which is the elevation of a Sojourner into an Ave,
where he is inducted into the Grove of Gold. At this phase, the Sojourner after
being born anew is called a new name, the name of an Ave, given by the Divine
Presence and symbolic of the newness of being that has now become his life. The
Transfiguration of the Scribe, hallowed and alluring, was declaimed by the sage
in the 27th Song:
And you will possess me
Like
light lulled at twilight
And it the roseate of your glorious sight
I will of the world not despair
Helix (Acadian Flycatcher,
Empidonax virescens)
The beauty of
the light that endues the Scribe here shines out to the world, like an asteroid,alluring every
eyes drawn to behold it, enthralling Nature to cadent in delight and reverence,
satisfying the Scribe from inside to fill his soul to overflow with joy. The
sage sang further of this mystical light in the 45th Song thus:
You light a fire in my heart
In my ignorance
Amidst shades of the starkly dark
I ripple with a wondrous radiance
Corona
(Tufted Titmouse, Baelophus bicolor)
After a Scribe has become inducted into the Grove of
Gold, a new life begins for the Sojourner, reflecting his new status as a god
in the Garden of the Divine. The Sojourner now sees the world as it is, so
small when seen from the clouds, actuated by divine prompting to eternity. Hear
the sage echoing the silvery prayer of the Scribe at transfiguration in the 61st
Song:
Talk to me
About the sunset and the sky,
The descent of doves
Where beginning of starry dreams lie
Afterglow( Whippoorwill, Caprimulgus
vociferans)
The Journey just began....still bold enough to follow through...Saturn calleth
