About the book >.>.> How what is called union takes place and what it is I cannot tell. It is explained in mystical theology but I cannot use the proper terms; I cannot understand what mind is or how it differs from soul or spirit. They all seem one to me though the soul sometimes leaps out of itself like a burning fire that has become one whole flame and increases with great force. The flame leaps very high above the fire. Nevertheless it is not a different thing but the same flame which is in the fire. What I want to explain is the soul’s feelings when it is in this divine union. It is plain enough what union is; in union two separate things become one. I used at times as I have said to experience the very fleeting beginnings of something which I am now going to describe. When I made that inward picture in which I threw myself at Christ’s feet and sometimes also when I was reading there would come to me unexpectedly such a feeling of the presence of God as made it impossible for me to doubt that He was within me or that I was totally engulfed in Him. This was in no type of vision. (LL)
