"Evil, sin, pain and fear cloud your vision now," continued the Lady. You hoped to see more clearly when you sought the mountain. Instead your sight became darkened, because the light with which you see comes from love. And you chose to walk away from the love you knew waited for you at God's table.

"You sought what was good. (Yes, knowledge and wisdom are good, as you knew when you sought them). But you closed your eyes to the source of knowledge and wisdom. You turned away from the table of love. There God gave you wisdom and knowledge--but with a slow, loving purpose. So instead of finding the clarity you desired, your eyes are now dimmed and confused. We see indistinctly, as in a mirror, you know."* (Mirror?)

*1 Cor 13:12
