( Picture source unknown)"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I... He will baptize you with fire." (Matthew 3.11)

I feel depressed. Does this mean that the Son, who is the light of consciousness itSelf, is present on the horizon?... endarkening my thought-scape?... blackening and baptising me with fire? Does Son-light cause depression?
~
Historically, I think the Church succeeded in invoking the god of fire, Christ, who is Helios, Satan, Vulcan, Shiva, Agni, etc. "I have come to bring fire on the earth." (Luke 12.49). But the Church could not integrate the baptismal and apocalyptic fire of Christ, and projected it instead, as is automatic for a fearful ego to do. Thus the Devil was born and the mass burning of "other" began, i.e witch hunting.
~
The fire element inherent in the archetypal Christ was schizophrenically split off in order to save the separate and dualistic ego from being consumed and consummated by the wholeness and oneness of the feminine Christ. Is this the reason I am currently endarkened. The sun-like Son mortifies my thought-scape from Heaven above. My world is laid waste; I'm depressed, bored, voided of mental matter.
~
The Son burns like a river of fire; washing my ego away. But I'm so identified with my ego, and to this degree I suffer sacrificial burning, crucifixion on the flaming cross. This sacramental rite-of-passage, performed by the priest of Christ, "crosses" me over to the other side of thoughts and things; lifts me up like a Phoenix self-immolated and born again to fly.
~
The hot, pneumatic breath of Christ is a solar glow which blows a "violent wind" upon my thought-scape brow. He is come! I am gone! The Son rises, blowing my mind with an awful awe.
