from The Dialogue, Truth (98 AD)

O dearest daughter whom I so love, you who are my bride, rise above yourself and open your mind’s eye. Look at me, infinite Goodness, and see my unspeakable love for you and my other servants. And open the sensitive ear of your desire. This is the only way you will see and hear, for the soul who does not have my Truth for the object of her mind’s eye can neither hear or know my truth. Therefore, I want you to rise above your senses so that you may more surely know the truth. Then I will satisfy you, for I am pleased with your desire and your questioning. Not that you can increase my pleasure: It is I who make you grow, not you me. But the very pleasure I take in my creation pleases me.
