12. I then looked upon the visible sphere, and began to cogitate in my mind; as to what and how and whence it was, and what can be the cause of it.
13. What are these multitudes of things, and is the cause of all these; it is all but the phenomena of a dream, appearing in the vacuity of the Intellect.
14. The earth and heaven, the air and the sky, the hills and rivers, and all the sides of firmament; are all but pictures of the Divine mind, represented in empty air.
15. It is the moonlight of the Intellect, which spreads its beams all round the ample space of vacuum; and it is this which shines as the world, which is an ineffaceable fac-simile or cartography of the supreme Intellect in the air.
16. Neither is this earth nor sky, nor are these hills and dales really in existence; nor am I anything at all; it is only the reflexion of the supreme Mind in empty air.
17. What may be the cause of aggregation of solid bodies, when there is no material cause for the causation of material bodies in the beginning.
18. The conception of matter and material bodies, is a fallacy only; but what can be the cause of this error, but delusion of the sight and mind.
19. The person in the pith of whose heart, I remained in the manner of his consciousness, was burnt down to ashes together with myself.
20. Therefore this vacuum which is without its beginning and end, is full with the reflexion of the Divine Intellect; and there is no efficient or instrumental or material cause of creation, except its being a shadow of the substance of the Divine Mind.
21. All these pots and pictures, these prints and paints before us, are but the prints of the Divine Mind; nor can you ever get anything, without its mould therein.
