person
sees
from
afar
the
things
which
he
does
not
possess,
and
describes
what
he
has
seen,
known,
heard,
&c.
But
these
are
persons
who
hold
a
treasure
within
themselves,
which
they
do
not
see
until
after
the
manifestation,
although
it
is
in
their
possession.
Yet,
after
all,
this
does
not
well
express
the
idea
which
I
wish
to
convey.
God
is
in
this
soul;
or
rather
the
soul
no
longer
exists;
it
no
longer
acts,
but
God
acts,
and
it
is
the
instrument.
God
in-cludes
all
treasures
in
Himself,
and
manifests
them
through
this
soul
to
others;
and
thus,
as
it
draws
them
from
its
centre,
it
becomes
aware
of
their
presence,
though
it
had
never
reflected
upon
them
before.
I
am
sure
that
any
who
have
attained
this
degree
will
enter
into
my
meaning,
and
will
easily
distinguish
the
difference
between
the
states
I
have
described.
Those
whom
I
mentioned
first,
see
things
and
enjoy
them
as
we
enjoy
the
sun;
but
the
others
have
become
one
with
the
sun
itself,
which
does
not
enjoy
nor
reflect
upon
its
own
light.
This
condition
is
permanent,
and
its
only
vicissi-tude,
so
far
as
its
centre
is
concerned,
is
a
greater
