36 On the Threefold Life of Man. 37

The mother of the sting: how he loses his fiery right and how he rises into the fifth form.

Death is a shift of greater joys, for it turns from darkness into light. When the flash blirem lightning flash or sudden illumination flickers in the bitterness of the sting original: "amperheyd van den prickel", the sting is startled much more than its mother the harshness or astringency. This is not a hostile shock, but a shock completely full of joy and rejoicing. This happens because the flash finds its mother so thin, weak, and soft. Because of this, the flash loses its fiery right and becomes white, clear, bright, lovely, and full of joy in the fifth form the level of the eternal will in the center. This is how the fifth form of nature arises, which is friendly and pleasant love.

74. How the true origin of life is in the fifth form: A parable: and how the light shines in the darkness: and the darkness remains nonetheless.

74. In that place, the flash desires its mother as food with great longing. This is the true origin of life, for it is the kindling of the light in the bitter matrix the womb of nature. There, the severe harshness is transformed into a softness. You must understand this correctly: it does not happen entirely in the center of its being. It is as if an oil were born in the gentleness (to use a parable), from which the light constantly shines and remains. In this light, the flash loses its sting. Out of its form, a light and a shine are created where a particular center exists. From this center, great joy arises. Yet the four forms of nature darkness, stinging, anxiety, and fire keep their own center for themselves. For the darkness remains as an enclosed being. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not comprehend it a reference to the Gospel of John 1:5.

75. Description of the first eternal will, which is called God.

75. Thus there are two principia principles. This occurs because gentleness reveals itself from the first eternal will. This will is free from the matrix in itself. It is as thin as a nothing and is still. Now, whatever is still and without essence in itself has no darkness in it. It is pure, still, clear, light joy without essence. This is eternity, without anything else, and it is called God before all other beings. There is nothing evil in it, and it is without essence meaning it exists before physical or substantial matter.

76. In what way God the Father is without a name.

76. Understand us correctly: God the Father is thus in himself, yet without a name. He is in himself the light, bright, clear eternity without essence, when we speak purely of the light of God.

77. God the Father conceives his will out of nothing, purely out of and in himself, and how we understand the "birther" where the essence is born.

77. But because he does not want to be without essence, we understand his will, which he conceives in himself out of nothing, purely out of and in himself. We understand the desire in his will, and in the desire, the center of the birther gebarerin the mother or matrix of nature where essence is born.

78. The Word creates in the birther: what the eternal still joy is: in which nature is born.

78. Now, the eternal birther desires nothing but the Word, which creates in the birther. For the eternal still and light joy creates nothing, but is simply still and light. Where there is no darkness, there is idle light without change. The birther, through her desire, creates the attraction, so that there is an eternal darkness in which nature is born, as was told before.

79. Without nature, there would be no Word that creates in the birther.

79. The eternal birther desires freedom original: "vyphept," likely meaning "vryheyt" or freedom/God in her first longing, not the darkness. She does not want the darkness, but only the Word which creates in her longing. There can be no birther without an attraction that becomes pregnant in the will. In this pregnancy, the center of nature stands. There would be no Word unless nature also existed.

80. The Word takes its origin in nature: two words are born: the first speaks out the severe power, being the Father's nature.

80. The Word takes its origin in nature. We give you to understand a very high and worthy thing here: two words are born in nature. One is born in the first center of the birther, in the severe wrath. It speaks out the harsh power of the mother of the first bitter wrath in the fire. This is called the nature of God the Father, which he bears in his still joy and in the conception of his will, without disturbing the freedom of the light.

81. Description of the second Word, which is called God.

81. The other Word is that which he bears out of nature, out of the gentleness. In this Word is the eternal freedom of the light, which is called God. It comes out of nature and causes the dark nature to die or flash away verblickt to vanish in a flash. This happens in the fire of sharpness, as mentioned before. The bitterness is startled in its own dark right and loses its severe right.

82. From where the luster arises.

82. For the flash makes the dark, severe power thin again. Thus, a growth or Word rises in her from the uncountable essences. This is the power of the second center. In this rising is a loving desire. The eternal light catches the freedom outside of nature, so that the freedom outside of nature kindles itself in this love. It becomes a burning light in which the luster arises.

83. Outside of nature there is no luster: how the Word of love is born out of nature.

83. Outside of nature there is no luster, even though there is a still light joy. Luster only arises from sharpness. In the rising of love, no sharpness is felt. Even though sharpness is there, it is a birth of joy and a true fulfillment of the first will, which is God. He places this will in the desire and thus bears nature, and out of nature, he bears the growth or Word of love.

84. How the second desires.

84. So the second growth or Word of love dwells in the first will. It is the true fulfillment that he desires.
