"What was she seeing? I looked, and saw: before her, cast from unseen heavenly mirror, stood the reflection of herself, and beside it a form of splendent beauty. She trembled, and sank again on the floor helpless. She knew the one what God had intended her to be, the other what she had made herself."

Oh, there is so depth there! Wow

“I am no slave, for I love that light, and will with the deeper will which created mine. There is no slave but the creature that wills against its creator. Who is a slave but her who cries, ‘I am free,’ yet cannot cease to exist!”

“for Good and not Evil is the Universe”

"Evil is not a true, independent force
Evil is a distortion, a parasite on good
Reality itself is fundamentally good, because it flows from God. Evil cannot ultimately win because it is not real in the deepest sense.
That’s why Lilith’s rebellion is doomed—not because God crushes her, but because she’s fighting against the grain of reality itself."

“It is not on the leopard; it is in the woman!” he said “Nor will it leave thee until it hath eaten to thy heart, and thy beauty hath flowed from thee through the open wound!”

"The true corruption is within the woman herself, not something attacking her from outside. slow, consuming spiritual disease. What’s “eating” her is unchecked self-will—pride, refusal to love, refusal to yield. The “open wound” is suffering."
