Chapter Forty Five: Love and the Harrowing of Hell

Chocolates are important because

they are bittersweet. Together with

the scent of the flowers, it captures

the very essence of love itself: 

satisfying, yet chaotic.

Commentary on Valentine's Day,

The beauty of dreams lie, fundamentally, in its ability to portray the seemingly impossible into a concrete reality, usually brought about by an impetus that creates a deep motivation of that young ideals and aspirations that changes direction over time. Dreams are usually tied with the program of destiny written by the stars, in all of its glory in darkness, twinkling with a burning fortunate certainty.

The discussion of space and time (in the past) have been centered around astronomical objects and the corresponding physical and chemical laws that govern the behavior of celestial bodies, organized into the independent inquiry that ultimately accounts to all observed phenomena governed by the scientific method. In observing rare astronomical phenomena, man searches for the meaning of the several galaxies, the cosmos, and, then, ultimately, into the circumstances that surround the beginning of life.

The main question that must be said here is to inquire about the nature of life. Is life created or is it a consequence of something else? Does life depend on space as everything else is suspended in time?

These questions may seem harmless at first glance, but it is attributed to some very, very, dark material that cannot be desecrated even in just trying to be understood by the mere limited employment of the human faculties. Something else is going on behind these methods of inquiry. Some dark comos, if one would dare to have it said.

Indeed, it was dark and dangerous. No one shall be lured by this sacrilegious temptation that involves the crossroads of most of the occult and the divine nature of miracles; there is nothing else to be gained by this understanding other than offer the proof of God's omnipotence. Absolute peril is as certain when another form of monster shall be unleashed as the Angelic hosts allows the prophetic moment when the seven scrolls are to be destroyed.

If done prematurely, Satan will gain the upper hand in this holy war. The harrowing of hell is already enough daring of the humanly divine vision to be committed in the same manner as it resulted to a grave mistake before. Because of his Satanic underestimation, hell has been invaded by all things holy while carrying with them the effects sanctifying grace, thereby, creating the tunnel that will ultimately lead to a purification place known as purgatory.

However, for him, the Dark Prince, purgatory does not exist. It is merely a product of delusion. Metaphysically speaking, it is an impossibility unless someone actually believes in it. It is only the product of faith of some believers who are all hoping about the greater promise of love when the redeeming moment of Good Friday actually happened. Hell remains to be his exclusive property, and only his alone, Lucifer the Devil, and it is only through the belief of the power of the cross that virtually creates the purifying substance of the path of the tunnel in question.

But the harrowing of hell itself has been led by the Lord Jesus himself, assuming the role of the Christ as it was written in Scriptures, such that the doors of hell were forcibly opened so that some of the souls there may find the consolation of the light and away from the dimensional darkness of sin. Because of the Messiah's descent to hell, the power of death may have lost some of its sting, as the Christ now becomes the King of the living and of the dead; yet, death still brings with it the uncertainty and the doubt, a confusing dynamic duo that seems to shatter the impetus of love as it was moved by someone's potential love deep inside of him, and the belief that God's mercy is always overflowingly abundant.

Yet, perfect love drives out fear, always.
