child. For it is not the natural, individual will
can inherit the divine childship, but only that
which, united with the Unity, is one with all things,
in which God himself works and wills.

ward ground has extroverted itself and made
itself visible, and is a peculiar possession of God,
as an efflux of divine power and will.
