The Fire of Truth is first, the fiery thorn that generates separation and suffering; and second, it is the fiery thorn that destroys that separation & suffering.
Life of separation, in Truth, never really gets generated or destroyed. Separation is a lie. But when given the power of belief, it appears as real as real can be.
As the saying goes, it takes a thorn to remove a thorn.
In the story, the first thorn gives rise to a belief in separation. It’s the first pain. The first thorn initiates the generating of the illusion of separation.
The second thorn initiates the destruction and death of the belief in the illusion.
That death involves the death of the belief in separation.
Within suffering, it is the prayer of the Heart that calls out to Truth.
Truth answers the call, but appears as a Fiery Thorn; which is the very thorn that painfully burns away the lie, which recovers the power of belief from that lie. Suffering ends the instant the lie of separation is seen as the lie that it is.
The removal of the first thorn with the second, breaks all illusions of separation, and truth is returned to awareness. True Healing begins. True Life begins anew.
Vision of Truth is returned, and it is seen that the Fire of Truth, in Its Mercy, had to appear as the fire of destruction.
But the Truth is, the appearance of fire & destruction is not real destruction at all. It is the Great Correction from lies. Its the Fire that ends the illusion of blindness and death. It returns to awareness True Vision, True Life and Truth ItSelf.
Life Is Constant & Loving. Truth is Constant & True.
