Once in speaking on the Holy Trinity, St. John of the Cross levitated up into the air before St. Teresa of Avila. On another occasion, this same saintly friar was called to exorcize a possessed nun. As the community prayed the Gloria Patri, the nun leaped into the air and remained suspended upside down. She was completely inverted. These two levitations, each facing opposite directions, symbolize much of what is possible for man in this life. If we orient ourselves towards God, we perceive His beauty and order in all things -- even our trials and crosses. Yet if we make unto ourselves other gods, as is fallen man's tendency, then we generate much disorder, hatred, strife, revolution, protests, riots, and other destruction (as in our current situation). Man must turn to the One Triune and True God, and by His grace, conquer the world within his own self.
