The Doors
When the invitation to the Banquet of Conscious Divine Union is accepted it leads to the “narrow gate” and we stand at the threshold of the:
1.Door of Self – the False- Self is laid down
2.Door of Salvation – guaranteed eternal relationship with God; safety and nurture
3. Door of Gifting and Fruits – place of equipping
Song of Solomon 4:13-15 – 9 Fruits and Herbs in the King’s garden
Galatians 5:22 – 9 Fruit of the Spirit
1 Corinthians 12:8-10-9 Gifts of the Spirit
John 6:44 – Drawn by His Spirit
Revelation 4:1 – “I will show you things to come.”
4. Door of Brokenness – Humility added to gifts and fruits
Song of Solomon 4:16 – North Wind – Purification Process
Hosea 2:14-15
South Wind – Blessing and Fruitfulness
Song of Solomon 5:1 – Myrrh – Suffering and death
Spices – truths of interior good
Exodus 30:23-31 – Anointing Oil – the goodness of love
Oil – was blended and perfumed with spices so that it would represent that which is good and acceptable.
Odor – signifies perception.
An agreeable and sweet odor signifies an acceptable perception
Interpretation: “The healing value of love cannot come to human perception except through interior truth which is good and acceptable to God.”
