Revelation 19:9 Meaning He Said to Me

He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’ ” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”

What does Revelation 19:9 mean?

The marriage supper is the joining of the inner light with the pineal gland at the top of the head, the sun coming into conjunction with the ram of spring so that new life is born inside the skull. The Lamb is that small gland behind the brow that answers to light, and the called are the states of consciousness gathered to witness this union.

ESOTERIC

Esoteric

The marriage supper is the joining of the inner light with the pineal gland at the top of the head, the sun coming into conjunction with the ram of spring so that new life is born inside the skull. The Lamb is that small gland behind the brow that answers to light, and the called are the states of consciousness gathered to witness this union. What religion pictures as a distant wedding feast is the union of the photon within and the seat of vision, celebrated the moment they meet.

The blessing falls on every faculty invited to that table, because the awakened person feasts on the light that pours through when the higher awareness and the gland of sight are wed.

Marriage supper: the joining of the inner light with the seat of vision at the crown Lamb: the pineal gland behind the brow that answers to light God: the photon, the particle of light moving through the body

Live Revelation 19:9 today

  1. Sit by a window for two minutes today and just take in the light, no phone, nothing to finish. Let your eyes be fed rather than used.
  2. Look directly at someone's face today while they talk, long enough to actually see them, not to compose your reply. Let seeing them be the whole point.
  3. In a rushed hour, close your eyes for ten seconds and let the dark behind your eyelids be restful instead of empty. Then open them and go back in.

When was the last time I let myself be filled by something I was only looking at?

The same truth in other traditions

Hinduism · Upanishads

The light the sun gives outside is the same light shining inside the one who looks. Whoever sits down with that light is fed by it.

Zen

Awakening is often described as the eye turning around to see what was always seeing. Nothing arrives from far away, two things that were always near simply meet.

Sufism · Hafiz

The table has been set inside you since before you were hungry. You were invited the day you were made.
