Mystics Contemplate The Perfection Of Mary Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

there are mystics born knowing shadows
there are mystics esoteric knowledge trained
mystics visionary attain redeemed harmony

a new state to replace perfect an original state
of Edenic innocence a new state allowing God
new redeemed individual birth creation souls

self-awareness interacting with a creation
both part of and distinct from Father fire
Christ light Holy Spirit living principle a

divine life infusing God interactive in flesh
allowing free will to become the most important
gift God gives to creation humanity allowing

each individual human being to seek divine
grace as a deliberate choice while still allowing
humans to remain individuals as God offers

parent love to humanity an incarnation Christ
shares our suffering as God bears a suffering
incorporate now a necessary part of creation

in Christ a new harmony became possible
Son of God became human through a Virgin
Mary like all other women born human in

flesh subject to sin elected through grace to
inherit a sinless state Mary did not transform
the Word the Word transformed child Mary

Holy Spirit came down upon was poured out upon
Mary as Holy Spirit upon all reborn true Christians
is poured out for the will the glory of our Father God
