by kissing you on the inside of your heart. That is how it hooks you. Then it feeds you with ecstasy and vision and revelation, drawing you deeper and deeper into a devouring longing to be one with it. When your longing is great enough and you are surrendered enough to it, Love changes into a Black Lion and tears you limb form limb. Then, when you have been scattered to the four quarters of the universe and not a scrap of "you" remains and darkness reigns, the Lion turns golden and roars and "you" are reassembled, resurrected and yoiur whole being shines with the Glory of the Lion's own Light, the light of the Sun.
All this is natural and logical in the dimension of Divine Nature and Divine Logic. You cannot being to understand it through human reason or through the intellect or even through contemplation; you can only begin to understand it through Love. Love itself will teach what you need. But to be able to learn at all, you will have to have made yourself open through many years of prayer, meditation and service of all living things and beings.
