Deep in meditation, quarrying the strata of the secret wisdom, stripping away layer beneath layer of the hardened sediment draped over truth, the mind’s eye attains perception of the light.
That is not yet Godliness.
Immersed in received knowledge of the higher realms, secluded from the confusion of humankind and earthly pleasures, there comes a day the prophet hears with his ears the voice that brings all into being; he sees with his eyes the splendor of that light.
That is not yet Godliness.
Arriving in the ancient Temple of Solomon, each person, great or small, saw the light with such clarity that all sense of being was lost, nothing existed other than the singularity of the Infinite Light that shone openly in that place.
Yet, still, that is not yet Godliness.
In a time to come, when the fruits of all our labor will blossom and the world will attain its state for which it was created, when "I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophecy," then every small child will see more than the greatest prophet has ever seen, "and all flesh shall see"—the physical eye will perceive an unbounded divine light that has never before been revealed, the very stones of the earth will scream out, "There is nothing else but He!" in every corner of the world, even within its inert matter, "for all the earth shall be filled with the knowing of God, as waters fill the ocean basin."
There will be a world, and the world will know that it is nothing but a manifestation of the Infinite Light.
That will be Godliness.
