Holy (n.) withholds ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in withdrawing; it bestows its arrival by reserving itself.

The Holy (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the element in which even godhead is still present — and so the track by which the fled gods might come back.

Holy (n.) lasts ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠only by staying within its withdrawal — just as the blue shines on the face of the soul by drawing back into its own depth.

The Holy (n.) stays ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠concealed when the whole and sound withdraws: the world becomes without healing, unholy, and even the track to the holy seems effaced.

The Holy (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠beckoned by the sound, which the unholy, as unholy, traces for us; the holy binds the divine, the divine draws the god near.

The Holy (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the only sphere where God or the gods can appear, and it begins to shine only after Being itself has been lit up and experienced in its truth.
