📜 Chapter 77: The Illumination Of To Ena


1. I awoke not by the sound of the marketplace nor by the cries of the merchants, but by the still flame that burnt within me. It whispered that the nature of the world was not divided by idols or temples that people built, but united in the presence of To Ena, the One, through the Logos and the Nous.
2. When I walked the streets of Athens alone, I saw marble statues carved in the likeness of gods, yet in the silence of my mind, I discerned a greater sculptor—the One who required no image, for it illumined all existential things without the need for form.
3. The Romans raised their empire upon stone and conquest, but I learnt that the truest empire was the dominion of light within the soul. No sword could conquer it, no senate could decree its disappearance.
4. In the stillness of dawn, when the Acropolis lay shadowed and the sea murmured below, I felt a radiance spread across my being. It was not the sun, but the quiet brilliance of To Ena revealing that I too was part of its eternal order.
5. I heard the new faith speak of miracles as proof of its truth, yet what greater miracle is there than the mind awakening to the One, where every breath testifies to its hidden harmony?
6. My mentor and teacher Asterion once told me that wisdom lay in disputation and rhetoric. When illumination came, I realised the highest wisdom is not spoken in argument, but in the inner stillness where To Ena unfolds itself.
7. I saw slaves, merchants, and soldiers alike bound to the unrest of desire and ambition. When touched by To Ena, even the humblest man shone brighter than the laurels of a triumphant general.
8. The Christians said their god was incarnate in flesh, but I beheld no need for flesh in the radiance of To Ena. It is not caged in a single body, but flows through all existence as the breath of being.
9. Standing by the olive groves, I marvelled at the silence between the leaves. There, I learnt that illumination came not with thunder, but with the quiet certainty of belonging to To Ena.
10. Athens changed, its people argued, temples were overturned, and crosses raised in certain places of worship. Yet the light of To Ena was unchanged, flowing like an unseen river beneath the shifting sands of empire.
11. I once feared that death would cast me into darkness, but illumination revealed death as a doorway. Beyond it lay not void, but the unbroken presence of To Ena that never ceases.
12. The philosophers of old argued whether the gods truly dwelt upon Olympus. I found no need for their quarrel, for in every star and every heart To Ena shone clearer than myth or mysticism.
13. When I closed my eyes, I felt a vastness greater than all the colonnades of Rome. To Ena illumined that inner space, showing me that eternity is nearer than the ground beneath my feet.
14. The noise of the city often sought to drown my thoughts, yet illumination came as a still tide, reminding me that the truth was never silenced, but merely waited to be heard.
15. The merchants haggled for silver and grain, but I traded in light. My wealth was the peace of To Ena, my profit the serenity of the soul.
16. I looked upon the poor man begging by the temple steps and saw no destitution. For though he lacked bread, within him still glowed the same flame of To Ena that burnt in torches.
17. Soldiers marched with banners unfurled, their armour gleaming in the sun, yet not their triumph nor their steel was brighter than the unseen light of To Ena dwelling in the quiet mind.
18. I sat beneath the stoa where once Socrates questioned the youth of Athens. I thought: greater than all dialogues is the silent discourse of the soul with To Ena, which no jury can condemn.
19. The rising faith of Christianity taught love for one's neighbour, and in this I did not find discord. For Meleticism too teaches that love is the brightest emanation of the heart, the bridge between the soul and the self.
20. When I beheld the wide sea stretching towards the horizon, I felt the measure of my smallness, yet To Ena filled even my smallness with dignity, for it revealed that even a drop belongs to the whole ocean.
21. The illumination of To Ena was not a divine spark descending from a heaven above. It was not a holy spirit. It was the quiet emergence of the awareness of To Ena, from within, untouched by sanctity or celestial origin.
22. Unlike the Christian notion of illumination, which was often framed as grace bestowed by a god through the Holy Spirit, To Ena’s illumination did not arrive as a blessing for me. It arose naturally, like the breath returning to the body.
23. It was no miraculous vision, nor accompanied by angels. There were no divine proclamations from above. Instead, there was a subtle shift in perception, a soft unveiling of what had always been present.
24. To Ena did not illuminate me through divine revelation. It illuminated me through the dissolution of illusion, revealing the soul to itself.
25. This light was not sacred, for it did not require reverence. It was not divine, for it does not claim authority over the soul.
26. It did not shine with glory or command awe. Rather, it clarified, softening the edges of thought and allowing being to settle.
27. I once feared that the world belonged to powers beyond my reach, but illumination showed me that the cosmos is governed by order, not caprice. To Ena needs no throne, for it is woven into all things.
28. When the crowds called upon their gods for favour, I turned inwards and found something greater than favour: a calm certainty that all is held together by To Ena. That assurance no prayer could even purchase.
29. The philosophers debated the substance of reality, yet they often lost themselves in clever words. In my own stillness I discovered the essence that required no argument, for To Ena revealed itself through clarity.
30. I marvelled that men once fought for temples and images, when the greatest refuge was already within their own minds. To Ena dwells not in stone, but in thought and being.
31. Some declared the world was fallen into sin, others that it was blest by gods. I saw neither curse nor blessing, but the unbroken balance of To Ena flowing through the earth and sky alike.
32. When I pondered the fate of empires, I realised they rise and fall as waves upon the shore, yet beneath their motion, the ocean of To Ena remained unmoved, sustaining all.
33. The Christians called their gatherings holy, yet holiness was never a place for me. Illumination taught me that every breath, if conscious, becomes a place of wonder.
34. In the still night, the constellations bore witness to a unity beyond measure. Not divine watchers in the sky, but silent patterns of the Logos arranging the cosmos.
35. I sought the truth in scrolls, yet found greater truth in the quiet act of observing. To Ena revealed itself more in the turning of a leaf than in the disputes of scholars.
36. The Romans built arches to glorify their victories, but what triumph surpasses the victory of a man who has overcome ignorance with the light of To Ena?
37. I no longer feared poverty or misfortune, for illumination showed me that true wealth is awareness. Possessions decay, but the insight of To Ena endures beyond time.
38. Some believed that sacrifices appeased the unseen powers. I found no power in burnt offerings, only smoke. The true offering was the mind turned towards unity.
39. In the agora I heard quarrels and accusations, yet within me there was a silence stronger than the shouts, a silence that reminded me all discord is but the forgetting of To Ena.
40. I looked upon my own body, once scorned for its weakness. Illumination taught me that this form is not flawed but necessary, a vessel through which To Ena contemplates itself.
41. When I saw a child learning to speak, I realised that every word is a spark of the Logos. To Ena breathes in every syllable, whether spoken in Greek, Latin, or the tongue of strangers.
42. Many mocked the philosophers, saying they wasted time in fruitless thought, yet to me, thought became a lamp: its flame not divine, but natural, guiding the path to clarity.
43. Illumination did not make me escape the world, but see it more clearly. Every task, even the humblest, glowed with meaning when seen through the Nous.
44. My neighbours worshipped gods of harvest and war. I harvested the fruits of thought and waged peace within myself, and in both I found To Ena present.
45. The changing seasons spoke more eloquently than the Pagan priests. In their cycle I saw not blessing nor curse, but balance, To Ena keeping all things in harmony.
46. I once sought to be remembered by men, fearing that death would erase me, but illumination revealed that memory itself flows back into To Ena, and nothing is truly lost.
47. In Rome’s triumphal processions I saw pride paraded as virtue, yet in the stillness of a quiet man’s soul, I found a triumph greater than all banners.
48. I walked along the ruins of old shrines, their altars broken, yet in the grass growing between the stones, I saw the quiet persistence of To Ena, never needing walls.
49. The sea taught me more than any sailor. Each wave was a lesson in impermanence, each tide a reminder of the vast order that never ceases.
50. The Christians spoke of eternal salvation. I did not seek salvation, but understanding—and in the illumination by To Ena, I found it freely given, without fear or promise.
51. My former teachers of my youth said that the truth belongs to the schools of thought, but I learnt that the truth belongs to no school, no sect, for To Ena teaches all who are willing to listen and learn.
52. At times, the city’s noise weighed heavily upon me, yet even there I could close my eyes and find stillness. That stillness was illumination, untouched by clatter.
53. I once envied the strong and the wealthy. Now I envy only those who recognise To Ena, for they carry within themselves the strength and wealth that outlast marble and gold.
54. A farmer once told me that seeds sleep before they awaken. I thought: so too the mind sleeps until To Ena awakens it with the light of illumination.
55. In seeing others suffer, I did not ask why gods allowed it. I asked how To Ena flows even through pain, shaping endurance and compassion.
56. I stood at the theatre where men wept for staged tragedies, yet in illumination I saw that every life is a drama guided not by merely consequence, but by the flow of To Ena.
57. I learnt not to despise my doubts. For each doubt became a question, and each question a step closer to clarity in To Ena.
58. The priests raised incense to the sky, believing it carried prayers to the gods above. I needed no smoke, for my own breath was conscious of To Ena.
59. I once thought the truth was rare, hidden in secret places. Illumination taught me it is everywhere, hidden only from eyes unwilling to see.
60. To Ena gave me no divine commandments, yet it guided me to temperance, humility, and wisdom. These were not laws, but natural fruits of living in harmony with reality.
61. I once believed that greatness lay in fame and public honour, but illumination revealed otherwise. True greatness is found in self-mastery, in the quiet alignment with To Ena.
62. The river outside Athens flowed ceaselessly, neither asking nor withholding. In its current I perceived the teaching of To Ena, that life too must flow without clinging.
63. When I sat amongst men quarrelling about law, I saw that justice is not decreed by decree alone. It is discovered in the balance that To Ena maintains in all relations.
64. I walked by the graves of soldiers who had fallen for empire. Their names were fading, yet the truth they once breathed had returned unharmed to To Ena.
65. I feared exile, for I cherished Athens, but illumination showed me that no man is exiled from To Ena, for its presence is everywhere.
66. As the Romans raised aqueducts to bring water to their cities, I thought: illumination too is a channel. It carries the stream of To Ena into the mind that thirsts for understanding.
67. My eyes once sought splendour in temples and monuments. Now they seek splendour in the simplest act of being, for To Ena illumines the ordinariness more brightly than gold.
68. Some spoke of omens and signs from beyond. I found all the signs I needed in the rhythm of breath and the turning of the seasons, guided by the order of To Ena.
69. At times, the world seemed cruel, yet illumination revealed cruelty as ignorance. To Ena does not wound, but waits for us to awaken from blindness.
70. I saw how men trembled before thunder, thinking it divine wrath, but I knew thunder as the voice of nature, the vast resonance of To Ena reminding us of our smallness.
71. The Romans crowned their emperors as if they were gods or demigods, but illumination showed me that no crown can add to or lessen the dignity already present in every human life.
72. When the philosophers debated the soul’s immortality, I did not fear their uncertainty. For whether body or soul endure, To Ena abides, and in that truth is peace.
73. The olive tree bore fruit season after season, without haste, without pride. In its patience I learnt more of To Ena than from endless disputations.
74. Men craved prophecy to know the future. Illumination taught me that the present, seen clearly, already contains eternity.
75. I once longed for certainty in every question, but To Ena taught me to dwell with mystery. In mystery there is not darkness, but depth.
76. When I was young, I feared mistakes. With illumination I discovered that even error can teach, for To Ena turns all things towards growth.
77. The sea’s storms terrified sailors, yet even in storm there is pattern. Illumination revealed that To Ena is not chaos, but a harmony too vast for hasty eyes.
78. I saw a sculptor shaping marble, releasing the form within the stone. Illumination is alike: it does not impose, but uncovers the shape already present in the soul.
79. My teachers once warned me against doubt, yet doubt led me to search. And search, guided by To Ena, led me to illumination.
80. To Ena gave me no divine revelation upon tablets, yet it inscribed its truth in the pattern of stars, in the rhythm of tides, and in the silence of my own thought.
81. Many feared misfortune, but illumination taught me that even loss belongs to the greater order. Nothing is wasted, nothing cast aside in the flow of To Ena.
82. The Christians spoke of light revealed in a single man that was their messiah. I found the light not in one, but in all—each life a reflection of the To Ena's unbroken fire.
83. The Romans boasted of their laws, binding men with chains of order, but I saw that the truest law is natural, unspoken, flowing from the balance of To Ena.
84. When I sat by the agora, I noticed how each man hurried after gain. Illumination slowed me, and I discovered that the richest gain is contentment.
85. To Ena showed me that silence is not emptiness, but fullness. In silence the whole cosmos speaks at once.
86. I once thought the cosmos was far beyond me, but illumination revealed it was within me as well. For the same order that governs the stars governs my own breath, which is the Logos.
87. The Romans feared disorder, and the Christians feared sin. I found fear misplaced, for To Ena holds all in its unbroken embrace—order is never absent, only unseen.
88. I beheld the mountains beyond Attica, enduring year after year. They taught me to endure likewise, for the strength of To Ena is patient and unmoved.
89. When I asked myself what the purpose of life was, illumination answered not with words but with clarity. To live is purpose enough when lived with awareness of To Ena.
90. Some men demand signs of divine favour, but I demand only understanding. And understanding grows wherever the mind opens itself to To Ena.
91. I watched fire consume wood and turn it to ash, yet even in destruction there was transformation, and To Ena revealed itself as continuity beyond change.
92. The Christians proclaimed redemption, but I sought no redeemer. Illumination was redemption enough: to see things as they are, and to live in peace with them.
93. I once envied the poet’s gift of words, but illumination showed me that every life lived in harmony is itself a poem of To Ena.
94. When I saw beggars cast aside by the wealthy, I knew wealth’s blindness. For to recognise To Ena in another is the richest treasure.
95. The philosophers pursued immortality of name. I pursued clarity of mind, for in clarity one tastes presence without needing monuments.
96. I learnt not to despise labour. The hand that tills the soil partakes of To Ena as much as the hand that writes philosophy.
97. Rome conquered with roads and armies, yet even Rome must one day fall. To Ena, needing no armies, abides forever.
98. I did not need prophets to tell me of hidden powers. Illumination was prophecy enough, for it revealed the unity already before my eyes.
99. In the laughter of an old sage, I found a wisdom older than the schools. To Ena speaks in innocence as surely as in reason.
100. Illumination gave me not answers alone, but patience also. For the truth is not rushed; it unfolds as slowly as dawn upon the horizon.
101. In the stillness of night, when torches burnt low, I felt the calm embrace of To Ena. It asked for no worship, only awareness, and in that awareness I found rest.
102. I once thought wisdom belonged only to the old, but illumination showed me that even the youngest child, when laughing freely, reflects To Ena.
103. As I walked amongst the ruins of temples now abandoned, I realised To Ena requires no priest to speak for it. Its voice is the quiet order of the world itself.
104. The Romans built roads that stretched across continents, yet none could compare to the inner road revealed by illumination. That path, leading to To Ena, requires no stone.
105. I once feared that my thoughts were too frail to grasp truth, but illumination showed me that every mind, however humble is capable of perceiving To Ena.
106. Some men sought omens in the flight of birds, others in the entrails of beasts. I sought no such signs, for the rising sun and the turning seasons were signs enough of To Ena.
107. I watched a craftsman carve wood with patience, each stroke bringing forth form. So too does To Ena shape us, not with haste, but with patient unfolding.
108. When I saw injustice, I did not call it the curse of gods. I recognised it as blindness to To Ena, and I strove instead to act in harmony with it.
109. The stars above Athens taught me more than arguments below. In their order I saw To Ena, silent yet ever present.
110. I once thought peace would come from treaties and laws. Illumination revealed that true peace begins when the mind dwells consciously in To Ena.
111. The sea’s calm one day and fury the next seemed to me a mirror of life, yet through both calm and storm, To Ena remained unchanged.
112. I found that to live in the truth required no actual blessing. It required only that I recognise To Ena in all things, even the smallest.
113. When men quarrelled about whose god was greater, I turned away. For To Ena has no rival, being not a god, but the measure of all reality.
114. A vine climbing the wall taught me perseverance. It sought no temple, no altar, but grew by the natural order of To Ena.
115. My neighbours sought certainty in ritual, fearing misfortune if they neglected it. I learnt that certainty is found not in ritual, but in the clarity of To Ena.
116. I once longed for heroic deeds to mark my life. Illumination taught me that even the smallest act, done in accord with To Ena is heroic enough.
117. The Romans displayed wealth in triumphal arches, yet arches crumble. To Ena requires no monument, for its endurance is woven into existence itself.
118. When I looked upon an old man bent with age, I saw not decay but transformation. For To Ena gathers all stages of life into its eternal flow.
119. The Christians promised paradise beyond death, but I found paradise in the present. To live awake to To Ena is already to live fully.
120. I once heard said that philosophy was an endless search. Illumination showed me that philosophy finds its rest when it recognises To Ena as the ground of all thought.
121. The cries of the agora faded when I entered silence. In that silence To Ena became clearer than any spoken word.
122. I envied the poet who moved crowds with verse, yet I learnt that to live with awareness of To Ena is a greater poem than any composed in words.
123. When the city honoured victory with feasts, I stayed apart and reflected. For no victory over others equals the victory of living in harmony with To Ena.
124. The olive tree bore fruit without boasting, season after season. Its constancy was the quiet teaching of To Ena.
125. I once thought loss would destroy me, but illumination taught me otherwise. To Ena gathers even loss into a larger whole, where nothing is wasted.
126. Some men sought immortality in marble statues. I sought only clarity, and in recognising To Ena I touched presence without stone.
127. The sea taught me patience when I watched the waves withdraw and return. Their rhythm was a lesson written by To Ena itself.
128. When I heard strangers speaking in foreign tongues, I understood little of their words, yet their humanity revealed To Ena as plainly as any speech.
129. The philosophers argued over whether the cosmos was eternal or created. Illumination showed me that it was sustained by the Logos and the Nous.
130. I once imagined I was small and unimportant in the vast order, yet illumination showed me that even the smallest spark is part of the fire of To Ena.
131. When fear of death came, I remembered that all returns to the whole. In that remembrance, To Ena removed my fear.
132. The Romans sought conquest, the Christians salvation. I sought neither conquest nor salvation, but illumination—and in illumination I found To Ena.
133. I looked upon the hills of Attica and thought: these hills too are transient, yet the order that shapes them, To Ena, abides.
134. In the cry of an infant, I heard not weakness but beginning. To Ena reveals itself in every beginning, however fragile.
135. I once thought the gods punished and rewarded, but illumination freed me from such fear. To Ena neither punishes nor rewards; it simply is.
136. The potter shapes clay by turning the wheel. So too does To Ena shape us, not with command, but with gentle turning.
137. My neighbours sacrificed animals at the altar, hoping to gain fortune. I sacrificed nothing but my ignorance, and in return To Ena gave me clarity.
138. When I beheld a friend’s kindness, I recognised no divine gift. It was simply To Ena shining through his being.
139. The storms over the sea once frightened me, but illumination revealed their purpose. Even storm is part of the balance of To Ena.
140. I once sought immortality of name, but I found no need for it. To Ena assured me that my life, however brief, belongs to the order of the Logos already.
141. In the silence of my own thought I began to perceive that illumination by To Ena was not an event, but a constant unfolding. Each moment of stillness revealed another facet of clarity.
142. I did not seek visions nor miracles; I sought understanding. In that understanding, To Ena revealed its nearness as the ground of all being.
143. The philosophers spoke of order in the cosmos, yet To Ena was more than order—it was the harmony that allowed me to see order at all.
144. I found that illumination was not thunderous, but gentle, as if a lamp were placed in the mind, steady and unwavering. Its light gave me confidence to walk without fear.
145. Many around me looked for signs in the heaven above, but I discovered that To Ena illumined my thought from within, needing no stars to declare its truth.
146. When I looked into nature, I did not see chaos nor accident; I saw the patient language of To Ena inscribed in leaf, stone, and water.
147. Illumination was not separation from the world, but deeper participation in it, for in all things I recognised the unity of To Ena.
148. I was taught of the Nous and its power; yet only when illumined did I realise that the Nous itself was a vessel shaped by To Ena.
149. There was no sacred command, no law, no decree—only awareness. Illumination by To Ena was freedom, not restraint.
150. In contemplation I saw how my body, my mind, and my soul aligned when I yielded to the harmony of To Ena. This balance was itself a form of light.
151. To Ena did not offer me promises of reward after death, but gave me understanding now. That was enough to steady my heart.
152. As Rome’s temples filled with statues and the monasteries with crosses, I walked with nothing but the inner lamp of To Ena, and I was not impoverished.
153. Illumination was not a matter of wealth or poverty, citizen or slave; it was open to all, because it belonged to none.
154. The more I yielded to its flow, the less I was troubled by pride. Illumination humbled me without humiliation.
155. When I faltered, To Ena did not condemn me. Rather, illumination gently returned me to balance, as the tide returns to the shore.
156. In the courtyards I saw quarrels and envy, but in illumination I learnt to step aside from them. To Ena taught me serenity amidst the noise.
157. I saw emperors grasp for eternity with monuments and power, yet illumination by To Ena gave me presence in a single clear thought.
158. Some declared that the truth was a doctrine to be believed. I found instead that illumination by To Ena was a reality to be lived.
159. In the still night, I realised that To Ena had no altar and needed none. Its temple was consciousness itself.
160. Illumination did not make me greater than others, but more aware of our shared essence. To Ena revealed the common thread that bound us all.
161. I no longer strove to master the world. Illumination taught me instead to dwell rightly within it.
162. Each time I returned to contemplation, illumination deepened. To Ena never exhausted its revelations, for each was both an ending and a beginning.
163. Unlike decrees that fade and laws that crumble, illumination by To Ena was enduring. It did not change with rulers or empires.
164. I realised that illumination was not conquest of the soul, but its liberation. In To Ena I found freedom beyond chains or crowns.
165. In the theatre of Rome they displayed battles and triumphs, yet in my inner theatre illumination displayed peace, and that peace was victory enough.
166. I saw that To Ena required no holy men. Illumination came directly to the attentive soul, unmediated and unpossessed.
167. When others argued over gods, I remained silent. Illumination by To Ena gave me an answer beyond argument.
168. I did not fear death, for illumination showed me that death was only a change of form within the vast harmony of To Ena.
169. Whilst some prayed for deliverance from suffering, I learnt to meet suffering with equanimity, for illumination taught me that even pain bore meaning within To Ena.
170. In the cries of newborn children and the quiet breath of the dying, I heard the same flow. Illumination revealed it as the unbroken song of To Ena.
171. I did not need divine revelation from prophets. Illumination itself was revelation enough, a clarity that no words could outshine.
172. To Ena was not distant, nor hidden. Illumination taught me that it was always here, always now, if only I had eyes to see.
173. In illumination, I became less concerned with what I possessed, and more with what I perceived. The wonders of To Ena could not be hoarded, only received.
174. Even as I aged, I found no decline in its light. Illumination by To Ena grew ever stronger, though my body grew weaker.
175. I came to understand that illumination was not an escape from the world, but a deeper belonging to it. To Ena held me as part of its whole.
176. Illumination by To Ena was unlike the salvation preached by Christians. Theirs promised life beyond, mine granted life fulfilled in the present.
177. They told of a god who descended into flesh; I discovered that illumination rose from within my own flesh, guided by To Ena.
178. Their hope rested on the faith of another’s sacrifice; my hope rested on the understanding kindled in my own nous.
179. Christians spoke of judgement and reward, but illumination by To Ena judged nothing. It clarified, it harmonised, it freed.
180. They spoke of a kingdom in heaven; I found a heaven of awareness within. Illumination was my ascent, even though I never left the earth.
181. Their faith was devotion to the Anointed One; my illumination was belief in the truth. To Ena was not worshipped but realised.
182. Where their creed divided the faithful from the unbelievers, illumination united all who opened themselves to its quiet flow.
183. I did not need to renounce reason to embrace illumination. To Ena illumined reason itself, showing it as a bridge to wisdom.
184. They sang hymns to their god; I listened to the hymn of existence, ever sung by To Ena in silence.
185. Their messiah proclaimed the end of days, but illumination by To Ena had no end. It unfolded without limit, without finality.
186. Their light was borrowed from a source beyond; mine was kindled within, though fed by the infinite presence of To Ena.
187. They urged obedience, yet illumination urged balance. To Ena did not demand, but invited.
188. Their salvation required faith; my illumination required awareness. The difference was vast as sky and earth.
189. They sought to save the soul from the world; I sought to illumine the soul within the world. To Ena did not create. Instead, it merely shaped through its emanations.
190. Their cross was a symbol of suffering turned to triumph; my symbol was no object, but the steady light of understanding.
191. They proclaimed a kingdom not of this world; I found illumination precisely in this world, where To Ena revealed its harmony.
192. Their truth was fixed in scripture; mine flowed continually, as illumination revealed new depths in each reflection.
193. They feared heresy; I welcomed enquiry. Illumination by To Ena was not threatened by questions, but deepened through them.
194. Their vision was of a god enthroned; my vision was of To Ena present in every breath. Illumination left no space for separation.
195. They awaited resurrection; I embraced continuity. Illumination by To Ena showed me that nothing is lost, only transformed.
196. Their faith was hope in what might come; my illumination was certainty in what already is. To Ena was enough.
197. I did not need angels nor miracles, only the serenity of illumination. That serenity was my miracle.
198. Their faith rested on authority; mine on consciousness. Illumination by To Ena asked me to see beyond, what others saw with only faith.
199. I do not condemn their way, but I know my own. Illumination by To Ena has given me clarity without end, and peace without fear.
200. Thus I remain, illumined not by the divinity of a god but by the truth, not by faith but by awareness. In To Ena I have found the light sufficient for this life, and in its radiance, I am fulfilled as I am awakened.
