The Virtue of Chastity

The statue, The Virtue of Chastity in Rome, Italy, is of a bare-breasted woman who holds an open rose in her left hand and in her right is grasped the horn of a unicorn.  This is the image of chastity.  The unicorn has its roots in Christianity.

Her breasts are the image of a woman breast-feeding-the nourishment representing the outpouring of her love.  The rose is a symbol of the feminine mystery and the unicorn horn a symbol of the masculine mystery.  Her outstretched hands represent her desire to bring the two mysteries together in creative harmony.

The unicorn seems intent on reaching the rose, but he must be guided by the fair maiden if he is to honor the rose and not violate it.  The rose is a symbol of the beauty of love, divine love.  Chastity allows us to discover the beauty of loves potency and strength.  The rose symbolizes the tenderness of love.  The maiden holds the rose gently as if to indicate the delicacy of chastity.  The horn symbolizes power and danger and must be held firmly.

If it is properly harnessed it can be the "horn of salvation," a source of healing.  This is an animal that demands respect: it can gore you or save your life depending on one's reverence for its power.  The maiden guides the unicorn's power rightly.

The maiden who has "captured the unicorn" evokes an image of Eros that is properly disciplined but nevertheless wild.  Wildness directed upwards launches one into infinity.  One then shares in the mystery of the fire of divine love.  Disciplining Eros is true freedom.  One is no longer a slave to their desires- one becomes a slave to God.  Chastity reveals God's mad love.

A Glimpse of My Ebook Stringing Beads

I was twenty-four when I encountered the Friend.  On one of my days of worshipping God there was a knock on the door.  When I opened the door and my eyes met his eyes I felt Eternity open up.  My soul had recognized this man's soul.  Every part of my being and body trembled in fear and awe.  That encounter would have me searching and asking, "What is this consciousness behind this awareness?"  In a single moment I was forever changed and my yearning for God deepened.

Reveal Eternity

All humans have a beginning, middle, and end.  This is the illusion of existence.  Finite is this world- everything in it perishes.  The soul is eternal.  Only Light dispels darkness and reveals Truth.  Be a vessel of Light and reveal Eternity.

Blemishes on my Heart

My heart has blemishes.  It is because of my doubt that there are blemishes.  I can confess my love and call out to the Beloved, but after a hundred times of doing this and getting no response doubt sets in.  In the Unseen my heart is certain of your existence.  In this world my humanness prevents me from knowing with certainty of your existence. 

To question such matters is a step closer to the Divine.  A man who has no knowledge of the Unseen world would never ponder such thoughts.  His existence would only know of one death.  There is another death that causes One to flee from this world.  That One finds refuge in the Unseen resting in the arms of the Beloved.

Fatal Wound

I am caught between life and death- dying a slow death.  His arrow struck my heart and caused a fatal wound.  Once again reminding me of the depth of His love.
