Then discover within thine own soul that ye stand, sleep, and move about by means of a single faculty, and this is a pre-eminent truth! Thus in this manner do the divine Names and Attributes proceed from thee just as ye envision and regulate within thine own selves, and these concealed Names and countless Attributes are revealed through the diversities measured out within thyselves and are brought forth within thine own form, that ye may haply ascend unto the heights of spiritual insight within thyself. Take for example that which prompteth thee to act, It is one, 31 even if ye were to name or classify It by various names, and It is distinct in Itself from all that ye may either express or intimate about It within thyself. Yet, by turning unto the faculty of hearing and its instruments a certain attribute and name is revealed which could not be otherwise. In like manner, by turning unto the faculty of sight and the instruments of the power within, a certain other attribute is revealed, and this is that which ye will discover within thine own souls. Thus with the tongue, as It turneth unto it, speech is revealed just as ye speak, and this is from It turning unto the outward instrument revealed through the human temple. By the same token the inward is perceived through subtle perception, so be mindful. For instance, through Its devotion to the heart, liver, spleen, brain, and its other instruments the various Names are revealed through the variations of these stations, just as ye assign names for the intellect, the psyche, and the intuitive heart.
