If glaucomatous damage occurs or progresses despite an IOP in the normal range, vascular factors are most often involved.

So, in my analogy of the template, this means that the hollowed-out shapes of the mold, which are perfectly shaped for the all-satisfying glory of God, are instead packed hard with the love of other things. Binding of VEGF by antibodies or fragments of antibodies thereby reduces symptoms relatively quickly ( Figure 7). When this miracle happens to us, the glory of God cuts and burns and melts and removes from the template the suicidal cement of alien loves and takes its rightful place. For example, the notion that the deceased can work with the living to continue their spiritual ascension was not robustly explained or defended.

In her new book, Eye of the Heart, Cynthia Bourgeault investigates the imaginal realm – an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions but often forgotten in our own times.
