I)\n ALL INTO ONE AGAIN\n| The All proceedeth from the One, And into One must All regress: If otherwise, the All remains Asunder-riven manyness. | \n5 (I. 25)\n GOD IS NOT GRASPED\n| God is an utter Nothingness, Beyond the touch of Time and Place: The more thou graspest after Him, The more he fleeth thy embrace. | \n6 (I. 15)\n THE SUPER-DEITY\n| What hath been told of God is not enough for me: My life and light flow from the Super-Deity. | \n7 (I. 284)\n MAN MUST GO BEYOND ALL KNOWLEDGE\n| What Cherubs know sufficeth not: beyond their zone I fain would take my flight unto where nothing's known. | \n8 (I. 285)\n THE KNOWER MUST BECOME THE KNOWN\n| Naught ever can be known in God: One and Alone Is He. To know Him, Knower must be one with Known. | \n9 (I. 43)\n MAN LOVETH EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING\n| One only Thing I love and know not what it is: Because I know it not, therefore I've chosen this. | \n10 (V. 41)\n MORE KNOWN LESS UNDERSTOOD\n| The more thou knowest God, the more thou wilt confess That what He truly is, thou knowest less and less. | \n11 (I. 178)\n THE BLAME IS THINE\n| If gazing on the Sun endangereth thy sight, The blame is in thine eyes, and not in that great Light. | \n12 (I. 294)\n GOD IS WITHOUT WILL\n| We pray: Thy Will be done! and lo! He hath no Will: God in His changelessness eternally is still. | \n13 (IV. 166)\n THE REST AND WORK OF GOD\n| Rested God never hath, nor toiled\u2014'tis manifest, For all His rest is work and all His work is rest. | \n14 (III. 170)\n OF ETERNAL MOTION\n| The secret of Eternal Motion thou wouldst learn, I, of Eternal Rest: which is of more concern? | \n15 (I. 49)\n REST IS THE HIGHEST GOOD\n| Rest is the highest Good. I'd keep both eyes close pressed, That He might have repose, were God Himself not Rest. | \n16 (I. 44)\n THE SOMETHING MUST BE FORSAKEN\n| If thou dost love a Something, Man, Thou lovest naught that doth abide. God is not This nor That\u2014do thou Leave Somethings utterly aside. | \n17 (V. 328)\n SIN TROUBLETH NOT GOD\n| God feeleth pain for sin in thee As in His son, But in His Self of Deity He feeleth none. | \n18 (V. 16)\n THROUGH THEE GOD LOSETH NAUGHT\n| Choose, Man, which of the twain thou wilt, Thy self-destruction or thy peace. Through thee God suffereth no loss, Neither through thee hath He increase. | \n19 (V. 34)\n GOD LOVETH NAUGHT BUT HIMSELF\n| God is so dear unto Himself, Folded in self so utterly, That He can never cherish love For anything that is not He. | \n20 (V. 92)\n GOD FORESEETH NOTHING\n| God foresees nothing\u2014'tis thy dull and blundering sense Doth clothe Him with the attribute of Providence. | \n21 (V. 173)\n GOD HATH NO THOUGHTS\n| God thinketh naught. Yea verily, Were thought in Him, then might He sway \u2014Which were a thing unthinkable\u2014 Now this way, now the other way. | \n22 (II. 55)\n GOD IS AND LIVETH NOT\n| God is, but in God-wise. He loves and lives, 'tis true, But not as I or thou or other beings do. | \n23 (V. 124)\n WHAT IS SPOKEN OF GOD IS MORE FALSE THAN TRUE\n| Since thou dost measure God by creature qualities, There's more of lie than truth in thy theologies. | \n24 (V. 358)\n GOD BECOMES WHAT HE WILLS\n| Eternal Spirit, God becomes All that He wills to be\u2014but still Abideth ever as He is, Without a form, an aim, a will. | \n25 (I. 115)\n THOU MUST THYSELF BE SUN\n| I must myself be Sun. I with my beams must dye The all-uncoloured Sea of the whole Deity. | \n26 (II. 17)\n GOD DENIETH HIMSELF TO NONE\n| Take, drink, all that thou wilt or canst\u2014'tis given thee free, Thou hast the whole of Godhead for thy Hostelry. | \n27 (V. 339)\n NO CREATURE FATHOMETH THE GODHEAD\n| No creature fathometh how deep the Godhead is, Even the soul of Christ is lost in that Abyss. | \n28 (IV. 38)\n GOD NAUGHT AND ALL\n| God is a Spirit, a Fire, a Being and a Flame, And yet again He is not one of all these same. | \n29 (IV. 1)\n GOD BECOMETH WHAT HE NEVER WAS\n| Here in the midst of Time God doth become what He, The Unbecome, was not in all Eternity. | \n30 (II. 245)\n THE GODHEAD IS MY MOTHER\n| God hath begotten me\u2014such my true genesis, But do thou never ask me who my Mother is. |","title":"I GODHEAD","type":"page"}
