Dante’s cosmos is soaked in Love! Love permeates everything, from hell to paradise. This vision of cosmic love is a soul truth—a truth Dante made explicit in his famous poem. People were very concerned with cosmic love and its blessings and equally with its withdrawal and eternal damnation. We can no longer accept such a cosmos today. Our modern scientific truth is of a universe that is mainly empty space, cold, unfeeling and lacking subjectivity—spacetime! What happens when this scientific truth is gazed into with the eyes of soul phenomenology? Is it possible that Dante’s soul truth is seeking re-admittance via our empirical, technologically informed and loveless world?
To logically connect modern physical spacetime with cosmic love or Jung’s Coming Guest seems like a literary conceit at best: “A conceit is a fanciful metaphor, especially a highly elaborate or extended metaphor in which an unlikely, far-fetched, or strained comparison is made between two things.” This literary device is commonly used by authors for their conscious literary purposes. But this book is my attempt to put into words how an author can be used as a vessel to hold the identity of spacetime and love as it establishes itself in the author’s soul. Two truths, utterly irreconcilable! What possible experience could provide a logical basis for bringing these two mysteries into relationship?
