Welcome!
The Deep Sea of the Godhead
Few ever come to know the apex of the spirit and
the hidden fund or depth of the soul. It is far more inward and sublime than are
the three higher faculties, for it is their origin. It is wholly simple, essential,
and uniform, and so there is not multiplicity in it, but unity, and in it the three
higher faculties are one thing. Here is perfect tranquillity, deepest silence, because
never can any image enter here. By this depth, in which the divine image lies hidden,
we are deiform. This same depth is called the heaven of the spirit, for the Kingdom
of God is in it, as the Lord said: 'The Kingdom of God is within you'; and the Kingdom
of God is God Himself with all His riches. Therefore this naked and unfigured depth
is above all created things, and is raised above all senses and faculties; it transcends
place and time, abiding by a certain perpetual adhesion in God its beginning; yet
it is essentially within us, because it is the abyss of the mind and its most inward
essence. This depth, which the uncreated light ever irradiates, when it is laid
open to a man and begins to shine on him, powerfully affects and attracts him. May God, the uncreated Abyss, vouchsafe to call unto Himself our spirit, the
created abyss, and make it one with Him, that our spirit, plunged in the deep sea
of the Godhead, may happily lose itself in the Spirit of God. Blosius
