Faithful

by Edmund Blair Leighton


When we talk about conscious love we are of course really talking
about the natural action of the soul, the soul is love, that is what at
a certain level, it is and does. And the highest form of Self
Remembering is love.


But what of the understandings arising out of our inner work to self
remember, coming out of our growth of being?

How do these relate to love?
They are clearly lower than love and the understandings of love.
To me they seem like the faithful servants of love

that also guard and protect her.
The figure that sums this up for me is that of the knight.
The knight kneels before his lady intent on serving,

defending and honouring her.
