Turn around and face the journey that you must take, your jouney into the land of death and resurrection. Take possession of that land where you must undergo your journey. The land that was the place of the Amorites and their neighbors, even as theirs are the ways of false intimacy, the idolatry of the desolate heart, which you, like Adam, have also known and by which you have comforted yourself through the use of degenerate imagination and self-deception. Take possession of that land which lies before you and around you and in your soul, all the way from the south to Lebanon and to the great river, Euphrates, to remind you where your soul was incubated and from where it also has descended. For once your soul walked in Adam with God in the Garden of God as if in His Temple. And how can you return there except through your journey in the land of death and resurrection? For the land that God, your Lord, has given you is the land of death and resurrection for the whole world.
Deuteronomy 1:8 "See! I have given before you the land; come take possession of the land that HaShem swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their children after them."
