ng and universal abundance. And, from its traces, spread
and divulged everywhere, thou wilt know and realize its influence and
comprehend its radiance. I ask God to expose thee by its coals of fire and
illuminate thee by its brightness. Turn thyself wholly to it--thus thou
shalt be enabled to ascertain its influence and power, the strength of its
life and the greatness of its confirmation. Verily, I say unto thee, that
if for the appearance of that Divine Essence thou desirest to have a
definite proof, and indisputable testimony and a strong, convincing
evidence, thou must prepare thyself to make thy heart empty and thine eye
ready to look only toward the Kingdom of God. Then, at that time, the
radiance of that widespread effulgence will descend upon thee
successively, and that motion rendered thee by the Holy Spirit will make
thee dispense with any other strong evidence that leadeth to the
appearance of this Light, because the greatest and strongest proof for
showing the abundance of the Spirit to the bodies is the very appearance
of its power and influence in those bodies.

Think deeply of this in order to know the reality of my explanation and
demonstration.

baptism of the Spirit of God and thy pleasure at the glad-tidings of God,
thine attraction by the fragrance of God and thy gladness in the love of
God. May God strengthen thee so thou mayest come nearer to God, to
separate thyself from aught else save Him and to assist thee in spreading
His lights and uttering the abundance of His mysteries, to perfume thy
nostrils with the fragrance of His holiness and to prepare for thee the
heavenly table, that thou mayest taste the delight of His loving-kindness.
I now assure thee, O servant of God, that, if thy mind become empty and
pure from every mention and thought and thy heart attracted wholly to the
Kingdom of God, forget all else besides God and come in communion with the
Spirit of God, then the Holy Spirit will assist thee with a power which
will enable thee to penetrate all things, and a Dazzling Spark which
enlightens all sides, a
