Jesus is twofold; both perfectly man and perfectly God. It comes through in the short passage from the Garden of Gethsemane… “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
Jesus operates from his humanity before approaching, investing and letting his divine nature shine in him and seeing through the eye of God.
Yet, the one who sees through the eye of God, and the one that is thus seen, is none other than God himself.
This dual polarity is illusory. At best, it allows a narrative detour to ensure an educational objective…
In reality, the God-pole encompasses everything…
This look from the depths is the one that calls us during the practice of silence.
By grace, silence invites itself to us, grabs us in the midst of our self-centered gesticulations to keep us as close as possible to the One who sees.
Most often, we fidget so much that we fall along the way and only have an intermediate, fragmentary perspective of this divine vision.
Already, however, the great shift, the great detachment, however rudimentary and sporadic, has occurred and the breath can circulate again.
When everything gets stuck, the soul suffocates, the breath cannot slip through.
Then the breath that suddenly invades us, warms our being and completely shakes up our interior walls,
This Breath instantly gives us Life…
Holy Spirit.

Then perfect humanity and perfect deity are one, and are realised in silence?

Please Simon, do not ask me questions like this in the morning…
I don’t know what to say,
If they re realized in silence, any words that would account for it would destroy this realization at the same time.
I think that letting that question hover over our days is the best choice.

Hmm… but these are less problematic questions if asked in the evening?

certainly not.
But in the evening I’m so devastated by tiredness that I won’t even consider the possibility of an answer.
