The Love Imagery of Mystic Poetry 

The Love Imagery of Mystic Poetry

This observation was originally posed to accompany John O'Donohue's poem 
 "Betrothed".

Some might mistake this poem for a description of sexual love between two human lovers. It is not. Rather, it is a description of the spiritual energies that are aroused in the self when the human fuses with the Divine Love Source and the Beloved Within becomes an experienced reality, not a concept or an idea.

Mystics of all ages have used the imagery of love to describe the relationship between the Divine and the Human: this fusion of self and other often carries a quasi-erotic tone, for it is rapture felt in the body. When the Kundalini is in proper alignment, one may feel this bliss intensely. If one is not in proper alignment, the opposite effect may take place.

One mystic said to me, "Kundalini is God moving through your body."
