SYM: HP and the Room of Love (clues to book 7?)

In post 56254 I compared HP to the "Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz", published in 1616. William Truderung was kind enough to reply in great detail and he gave a website where the AW can be read in modern English.
 
That was before OOP. I've only just begun to recover from the impact of OOP and so it's very early to dig deeply into the symbolism of it all. However I've just woken up to an extremely striking parallel between HP and the AW which gave me quite a shock which was at the same time a thrill of breathtaking possibilities.
 
In year 5 Harry comes across a room that is always locked. He is told that this room contains "a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than the forces of nature." This force is never named, but it is obvious to us that this is love. 
 
On day 5 Christian Rosencreutz comes across a room that is always locked. He is told that this room contains the sleeping "Lady Venus". Sound familiar? You don't have to have an IQ of 200 to work out what Venus symbolizes.
 
CRC is led here by his Page and what happens next is pivotal to the end of the AW. It may very well contain clues about how book 7 will end. 
 
CRC's page asks him if he wants to enter the room to see Venus, to which he readily agrees. They see Lady Venus who is asleep, naked. As they leave they are seen by "Cupid" who pricks CRC in the hand with an arrow. Cupid is Venus' son.
 
On day 7 the gatekeeper to the castle, who is a great astrologer, delivers an accusing letter to the king. He says that his observations prove that someone has entered the room of Venus and beheld her. The punishment for seeing Venus is to take the place of the gatekeeper until a new transgressor is found to take his place.
 
The king conducts an enquiry and CRC confesses that it is he who has beheld Venus. The king is extremely upset because he owes his New Life to CRC (as a result of the Alchemical Wedding) but says that the sin of seeing Venus is so great that there can be no exception made. CRC is told he must take the place of the present gatekeeper. He goes to his bedroom where he has a final discussion with the keeper of the Tower of Olympus (whom I've compared to Dumbledore) and a chap called Atlas. The AW then ends in a very strange, abrupt way. I quote:
"Here are wanting about two leaves in quarto and he (the Author hereof) whereas he imagined he must in the morning be Gate Keeper, returned home."
 
What can we learn from this that might help us predict Harry's future? Venus is obviously Love, the force Voldemort does not possess or understand. Why is it a transgression to see Love? That of course is a Divine joke! The point is, that anyone who has beheld Love in its purest essence is captivated by it. Where is this secret chamber? In the human heart of course. Every one of us has this secret force locked away in our heart. The purpose of life is to open this room and behold Venus in all her supernal splendour. But once we have done that we are compelled by the Law of Compassion to become gatekeeper to open the gate for all those who are searching for liberation. Once the door of your secret heart is open you behold the indescribable suffering of humanity around you and the pain of it all becomes unbearable. The power of your love for humanity becomes so all-powerful that, although you are liberated, you cannot leave humanity and so you stay behind to hold the gate open. Such a
 person is known as a Master of Compassion (see the Voice of the Silence by HP Blavatsky).
Yet we read that CRC comes home. This is indeed a paradox. How can you come home (to the Kingdom of Love) and yet stay behind as gate keeper? The answer in my theory is that when a person is totally liberated according to the seven stages I've mentioned in previous posts, the door of his heart is wide open, which means that the eternal Spiritual Sun shines in you at all times. When you bathe in the light of the timeless omnipresent spirit, you are home, no matter where you are. Heaven (Nirvana, Tao etc) isn't a place; it's a state of being.
 
So what can we learn about this in terms of HP? If HP does indeed follow the AW, Harry will open the door of the locked room. After defeating Voldemort he will be faced with the same paradox as CRC. He will be punished but that punishment will be a divine joke: it will be his compassion that will "punish" him. He will be compelled to become gate keeper, or some other apparently menial task, yet he will be free.
 
As I said, book 6 will deal with the liberation of the emotional consciousness in the heart. I guess this means Voldemort will attack Harry's heart because Voldemort knows that Harry's weapon is the love in his heart. Perhaps this will be when Harry enters the Room of Love. I mentioned in April that Harry will go through the Venus inititation. 
 
Cupid symbolizes the active force of love that commutes between his mother Venus and the candidate for liberation. This is the force that Harry has so much of, and which drove out Voldemort. Wait till Venus wakes up!
 
Book 7 will deal with the liberation of the I-consciousness, the highest aspect of the personality. That means the gate of Saturn. As we know, Saturn is the grim reaper, but when we go through the gate of Saturn with a liberated consciousness, death is swallowed up in victory. That death is merely the throwing off of an old cloak under which we have a resurrected imperishable form. That death is discarding the prison garb for the eternal youth of the sons of the Potter.
 
I presume the Gate of Saturn is symbolised by the gate with the veil in the MoM.
 
How will Voldemort die? I think we should not feel sorry for him. In fact evil is an illusion. Voldemort symbolizes the anti-forces that have accumulated in our being and in the world as a result of all the mistakes we have made. Humanity's biggest enemy is ignorance. If we act in ignorance we deviate from the great Plan underlying the universe. Every deviation from the Potter's original plan results in a dark force we call evil. In fact it is not evil; it is devoid of love. It is a place where the light of the Kingdom of Love does not shine. It is just a shadow. When we remove the object that was in the way, the shadow goes and the place is filled with light. That's all.
 
How JK Rowling will turn this into a gripping story is beyond my wildest imagination. But not hers, I'm sure.
 
My prediction is that Harry's death will fill us all with tears -  not tears of grief but tears of joy.
