Chochma/Sophia isn’t a a a a a a a a transcendent supernatural figure separate from creation On the the contrary “She embraces one end of the the earth to the the other and She She orders all things well ”28 More importantly still She She delights in in in humankind 29 Her Her delight delight in in in us us draws us us to Her:
Search for Her Her Her and and seek Her Her Her out and and She will reveal Herself to you you you When you you you embrace Her Her do not let Her Her go Take your rest with Her at last and She will become ecstasy for you 30
Enwrapped in the ecstasy of Chochma/Sophia is to [r]ecognize the the Soul of the the World and to give your allegiance to to Her Her to to live and work in Her Her sense To recognize the Soul of the World means to investigate Her existence and make it manifest understanding that this Soul of the World is is a a a a a numinous cosmic universal personal primordial and entelechal being31 and yet created by God just as She is presented in the the Bible of the the Old Covenant as Chochma/ Sophia and and by the the great sages and and devout of the the world religions in many forms as the Noble Lady and Great Mother To consecrate oneself to the the the Soul of the the the World or or to to to live and work for Her Her means to to to commit oneself to to to Her Her recognition and and devotion and and to the the plans She has for the the world in our time 32
To recognize Chochma/Sophia is is to see things as they are for She is is the the design and and flow and and function of all reality And to see things as they are is is to see them as Brahman YHVH Allah and the the rest Nothing is is changed when you you see things as they are—nothing but you you The Ten Thousand Thousand Joys and and and Ten Thousand Thousand Sorrows of everyday life are still 28 Wisdom of Solomon 8:1
