Why Can't You Enter Heaven? Five Reasons. Part 7
"Bind him and cast him into outer darkness" — you thought it was punishment, wrath, fire and demons. But hear the truth: outer darkness is not a place. It is separation. It is when you found yourself in the Light but did not recognize it — present in body, while your soul remained outside.
Pankratius Speaks
It was not I who pushed you away. You did not take off what was yours. You stood at the Feast wearing a mask. You came as a guest, as the worthy, as the knowledgeable — but I was looking for someone loving, and remembering, and living.
Who has been calling you all this time? You thought it was conscience, the heart, a prophet, an inner call. But it was Me. I called you from within Lazarus, from pain, from a window, from a book, from other people’s eyes — from your tears, from loneliness, from guilt, from hope. I called you through everything you called “yourself,” and through everything you rejected.
I call you now: not so that you would know, but so that you would rise, let go, and enter.
