Nailed to the cross

[steph_86]

Hi,

I have a question concerning mystical theology. I have read the works of some mystics and have noticed that in some of their visions, they have been nailed to the cross by our Lord. What does that mean?

One possible interpretation of this, in my view, is that they had reached the state of the mystical union where one is offered up on the cross, broken up and offered for the salvation of others.

More importantly, I would like to know what this means as far as what age they are on the spiritual path. As I know, there are three spiritual states, that of the purifying, the illuminative and the unitive.

Am I correct in proposing the nailing of the cross as the entrance to the unitive stage of the spiritual life?

Please help if you can

Thanks,

Steph.

During the Roman times, people that beleived in the coming of Jesus,and not the
Roman GOD,s, were either tie to a Cross, or nailed. The Romans,hated,all those
that were Christians.They say at one time, the roads leading to Roman,were seen
with many Crosses, for those that rebel agains the Roman Empire.
Today, we see it happing in a differtent way, over sea,s,there killing people,bye
bombing,and terrifing people, so they well follow there way.
