Illumination is fire. Wisdom is fire. Theosophia, divine wisdom, is fire. It’s the fire, the beautiful fire, of true knowing—knowing who you are, knowing God within you, knowing God within everything, knowing the truth of everything that is, because what really is real? Only truth is real. Only God is real. Because we enter into that knowingness and the virtue of it and the essence and the feeling of it, then all the lesser so-called truths that don’t glorify God fall away. The one truth is that we are real in God. We are only real when we are godly; we are only truly real when we live in the magnanimity and in the spiritual quintessence of that pure fire, who is God.

We call it putting it into the flame. What do we put into the flame? The fuel is our lesser self’s awareness, and that fuels the fire to burn it up. And then guess what happens. When we release it and surrender it, it actually comes back to us as a glorified radiance that fuels that fire within us even more.
