Of the Threefold Life

the center original: "centro" of human life appears to the truly earnest seeker. Just as Christ commanded us to knock and seek His Father as in the center of life with a truly earnest and desiring humility, so shall we find Him.

46. Without the Spirit of God, no one can rightly know God their Lord.

46. FOR no one can know God their Lord, nor rightly seek or find Him, without the Holy Spirit, which goes out from the heart of the humble seeker and enlightens the mind. This enlightens the senses so that the desire is turned toward God. Such a person alone finds the worthy Virgin, the wisdom Sophia of God, who leads them on straight paths and brings them to the fresh water of eternal life. She refreshes the soul, and thus the new body of the soul grows in Christ. We wish to write of this in a highly worthy manner later on.

47. A warning against seeking God only above the stars.

47. We warn the God-loving and seeking reader to consider this concerning God: do not gather your senses and mind to seek the pure Godhead only high above the stars, dwelling in a Heaven alone, as if He only ruled in this world with His Spirit and power like the Sun stands in the high deep and works everywhere in the whole world with its rays. No.

48. The pure Godhead, the birth of the Trinity, and the angelic world are present everywhere.

48. The pure Godhead is in all places and ends, entirely present everywhere. The birth of the holy Trinity Threefold Number in a single being is everywhere. The angelic world reaches to every end, wherever you might think, even in the middle of the earth, stones, and cliffs. Likewise, Hell and the Kingdom of the angry God are also everywhere.

49. The severe Kingdom is in the center. God makes joy for Himself within Himself. Concerning the Word, eternal nature, how the Father would be alone, and how the third principle would not have been created.

49. For the severe Kingdom in the anger of darkness is in the center and maintains its source-quality quael and rule or dominion in darkness. The Godhead goes out into Himself in the center and creates joy for Himself within Himself. This is unsearchable or incomprehensible to the darkness because it opens another principium principle. For the eternal Word is the eternal will and a cause of eternal nature. Eternal nature is the eternal Father, in whom all things are created through the Word understand this as being within eternal nature. If the eternal will did not create another will within itself to go out from itself just as a shining light burns from a candle and does not depart from the candle, then the Father would be solitary and a severe darkness. Also, this world as the third principle could not have been created.

A small hand with a pointing finger appears in the margin, directing the reader's attention to the final paragraph regarding the creation of the second person of the Trinity.

50. The creation of the second person.

50. But since the Father holds eternal nature within His own being and is the eternal will itself, He bears out of Himself another will. This will opens the principium principle of light in the first eternal will which is the Father.
