SPIRITUAL
TORRENTS.
effect
of
this
negation
is,
that
the
soul
having
los
all
that
was
its
own,
God
having
substituted
Him
self,
it
can
attribute
nothing
either
to
itself
or
t<
God;
because
it
knows
God
only,
of
whom
it
car
say
nothing.
Here
all
is
God
to
the
soul,
because
it
is
no
longer
a
question
of
seeing
all
in
God
for
to
see
things
in
God
is
to
distinguish
them
ir
Him.
For
instance,
if
I
enter
a
room,
I
see
all
that
is
there
in
addition
to
the
room
itself,
though
it
be
placed
within
it;
but
if
all
could
be
trans-formed
into
the
room
itself,
or
else
were
taken
out
of
it,
I
should
see
nothing
but
the
room
alone.
All
creatures,
celestial^
terrestrial^
or
pure
intelligences^
disappear
and
fade
away,
and
there
remains
only
God
Himself,
as
He
was
before
the
creation.
The
soul
sees
only
God
everywhere
;
and
all
is
God
;
not
by
thought,
sight,
or
light,
but
by
an
identity
of
condition
and
a
consum^nation
of
unity,
which
rendering
it
God
by
participation,
without
its
being
able
to
see
itself,
prevents
it
seeing
anything
any-where
;
it
can
see
no
created
being
out
of
the
Un-created,
the
only
uncreated
One
being
all
and
in
all.
Men
would
condemn
such
a
state,
saying
it
