... from the intellect lift yourself up to God, who is the light of the intellect... In God's light is all our knowledge, so that it is not we ourselves who know, but rather it is God who knows in us. When we ascend to the knowledge of God, although God is unknown to us, yet we are moved only in God's light, which transmits itself into our spirit, so that we proceed toward God in God's light.
(p. 225)
... our intellectual nature can attain to the happiness of its rest only in the light of its intellectual principle. And just as sight does not discern, but rather a discriminating spirit discerns in it, so it is with our intellect, which is illuminated by the divine light of its principle in accord with its aptitude for the light to be able to enter. We will not understand or live the intellectual life in and of ourselves, but rather God, who is infinite life, will live in us. This is that eternal happiness where the eternal intellectual life, surpassing in inexpressible joy every concept of living creatures, thus lives in us in strictest unity...
(p. 226)
...the divine Word is united to the intellect... and the intellect itself is the place where the Word is received... For the Word of God illumines the intellect just as the light of the sun illumines this world. Therefore, in you, my Jesus, I see the sensible life as illumined by the intellectual light, the intellectual life as a light that illumines and is illumined, and the divine life as a light that illumines only. For in your intellectual light I see the Fountain of light, that is, the Word of God, which is the Truth enlightening every intellect.
(p. 281)
... the living intellectual light, which is called "mind," contemplates in itself Posse Itself {i.e. God in His Unbounded Potentiality}.
