“What a boundless eternity of voids!
We shall continue with this for but a moment, dear child, I have much to tell
you still: God is ugliness, and at the same God is the beauty around that
ugliness, and from it as if nurtured, it blooms. The decrepitude of spirit and
the alienation of the soul, what was called the dark night of the soul by St.
John of the Cross, is symptomatic to the problematic origin of the human, for
God withdrew in order to create her: he had to. I spoke about this earlier too,
and I consider St. Simone Weil to be my teacher on these matters. She spoke to
me about this in person, and with great enthusiastic detail ― I met
her once in her native France. From that meeting, her theology of the origin of
the human soul stuck to me like honey or like sugar, and I hold it in belief
these days”.
