‘Here are hopes; but what will you see and hear of them if you have not experienced splendor, ardor, and dawns in your own souls? I can only remind you; more I cannot do.’ -
The tunnel of this door (that is, the entire concept being presented and its effect) is first asking you to open your HOPES door: what are your hopes? what do they feel like? and why are they there?
Only you can know these answers, because what is behind the door for hope can only be what you have put there; thus, you can only be ‘reminded’ the door is there.
To ‘remember’ something is only to open a door, to ‘call up’ a door. So of course it is you that must now enter it. This simply means opening your concept of hope and exploring it, experiencing it.
What do you hope for? - To be happy; to be successful; to be in control; to ‘live life to the fullest’ and ‘not take life for granted’.
But let us close that door and now open the doors to SPLENDOR, ARDOR, and DAWNS. As with the door for hope, you have been directed to enter the tunnels of splendor: the concepts of great lightness and lustor, brilliance, magnificence, grandeur, and whatever else you can supply the system as they relate and connect to your memories of splendor, your experiences of splendor. Going down this tunnel will necessarily activiate the feelings associated with the terms involved in the succession of concepts, provided only you follow the direction, enter that tunnel.
So it is with these doors open, along this tunnel, you come across the next door: great intensity of PASSION. This ‘ardor’ you attach to all the other open doors and feel great intensity of passion as it relates (has relations with) your experiences of magnificence, lustor and brilliance.
What can one feel passion for? - Only life! Thus, if you open the door to passion, and do it ‘ardently’, the only possible effect is to activiate your feeling of your own passion for your own life. From my perspective, that means I experience my passion for writing this, my passion to be alive, my passion for the sounds I hear in the background, my passion for my health and my mind and my vision, my direction, my location in the system!
For you, the tunnel might begin with your passion for thinking, for following these riddles of words, your passion for reading and for understanding. Think for a moment: it is not only ‘this’ you’re reading, it is everything you’ve ever read; the ‘act of reading’ is what you’re engaged with at this point. Don’t you like reading? Chances are, you even love it, have a passion for it, which means you’ve redirected yourself toward your feelings of passion and love: your desire to read is currently being fulfilled; your desire to think is being fulfilled; your desire to live is being fulfilled; your desire to be happy, to live in the moment, to experience where you are in the system is happening - right now!
Atop these feelings you place the image of ‘dawn’. This means: ‘in addition’ to all these feelings of joy and passion for life, your passion for being here, playing this game, and moreover doing exactly what it is you want to do - because there is necessarily nothing else to do! - because this concept is connected necessarily to being ALIVE, being inside the system!! Drape atop these concepts the image of the rising sun, perhaps over a lake or mountains: dawn: freshness, birth, beginning, a starting-point: Your life is yours!
‘I can only remind you; more I cannot do.’
