Much against the passive,
affective experience
of the theologians of darkness,
the theologians of light
stress illumination.
It has intellectual form
It is more palatable
to the man of reason.
The thinkers of light
giving importance
to ordinary human knowledge
tries to break through
to the transcendent
suprarational knowledge of truth.
'Truth' is a favorite topic for a poet.
In the 'way of negation',
the poet goes beyond the human
philosophical and religious
knowledge in order to be free
to be immersed in the
pure presence of God,
to experience authentic love.
(The two traditions in Christian history,
the affirmative way, or the theology of light
is placed side by side with the theology
of darkness or the Via Negationis.
Origin, Augustine, Bernard, and Thomas are included in this list of the 'theologians of light' and the representatives of the apophatic thinkers are Gregory of Nyssa, Pseudo-Dionysius, and John of the Cross.)

Thought-provoking poem about truth and poetry... Thanks for sharing with us, Dr. Theodore.
The knowledge of the truth! ! With the muse of righteous laws. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Truth. You don't pick easy topics, do you? How do we define what truth is? Is his truth any more valid than my truth? How do we discover validity? Some things cannot be verified by microscopes and scientific analysis of chemical make-up. I will stick to my spiritual truths that can stand in the light and doesn't have to seek out darkness to hide its unpopular aspects. Ow, you made me think and now my head hurts! Great topic well explored!
