One last quiz result and I'll stop clogging up your feed. This time the Which Patristic-Era Thinker Are You? quiz.

Not bad.

Something would be wrong if the Gnostics and Neoplatonists weren't nearby.

Quatrième et ultime étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s il y a un bon mois déjà : ma sœur Dominique et son mari, à Alençon, aux confins de la Normandie et des Pays de Loire.

On passe une journée au Mans. Visite du Carré Plantagenêt, musée d'histoire de la ville.

Colchester Vase

The Colchester Vase is an ancient Roman British vase made from local clay from Colchester, England dating to 175 AD, depicting a gladiator battle between two individuals: Memnon and Valentinus, which are believed to be stage names.

It was discovered in a Roman-era grave in 1853, which held the deceased's cremated remains.

It has currently held by the Colchester Castle Museum collection, and is renowned to be among the finest piece of Roman-British pottery.

“Through Gnosis we are purified of diversity and experience the vision of unity. Those who have realized Gnosis know the source and the destination. They have set themselves free by waking up from the stupor in which they lived, and become themselves again.”

-Valentinus The Gospel Of Truth

Look at the picture and tell me what wakes them out of their stupor!

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Valentinus Day! 

Valentine's Day provides an opportunity, an excuse really, to share these powerful, loving verses of the heart. The poetic words of mystics are directed towards God as the Beloved lover of their soul, yet their expressions are so loving, so blissful, and ecstatic that they are, at the same time, quite romantic and appropriate for Valentine's Day between soul-mates! I believe the soul-to-soul-mate relationship of romance is a kind of 'reflection' of the soul's relationship with God (soul-to-Oversoul), the ultimate pure love from the Ocean of Love.

You must share death amongst you in order to exhaust it and cause its dissolution, so that in you and through you death may die.
