| 2. | Regarding certain means by which those who are hindered in their spiritual life may progress to the Being Original: "Being."

| 6. | How this soul is a spring of divine love, how she sees that she is naught Original: "naught." A mystical term for "nothingness." By becoming "nothing" in her own estimation, the soul allows God to be "everything" within her., and how this "nothingness" gives her everything. | 180 |
