Holy Week, pt 1: Maundy Thursday, March 28, 2013... from Jehanne de Quillan's THE GOSPEL OF THE BELOVED COMPANION:

42.12 AND I SAW MY SOUL, NOW FREE OF ALL DARKNESS ASCEND AGAIN TO BE FILLED WITH THE LIGHT AND GOODNESS THAT IS THE SPIRIT. AND I WAS FILLED WITH A FIERCE JOY AS MY SOUL TURNED TO FIRE AND FLEW UPWARDS IN THE FLAMES FROM WHENCE MY MASTER SHOWED ME THE EIGHTH AND FINAL BOUGH, UPON WHICH BURNED THE FRUIT OF THE GRACE AND BEAUTY OF THE SPIRIT.

- Who/what is the “I/she” who saw her “Soul?”  

- Define darkness?

- What is “darkness” of the Soul?   (MT 6:22)

- What has “LIGHT/GOODNESS = SPIRIT” to do with me/you?

- Explain fierce joy.

- What is the significance of her feeling this joy?

- Explain “my Soul turned to fire.”    (ACIM WB 93)

- Why is the fruit on the highest bough ablaze?
