In this station [the City of Divine Unity] the truth of the
unity of God and of the signs of His sanctity is established. Thou shalt indeed
see them all rising above the bosom of God’s might and embraced in the arms of
His mercy; nor can any distinction be made between His bosom and His arms. To
speak of change or transformation in this plane would be sheer blasphemy and
utter impiety, for this is the station wherein the light of divine unity
shineth forth, and the truth of His oneness is expressed, and the splendours of
the everlasting Morn are reflected in lofty and faithful mirrors. By God! Were
I to reveal the full measure of that which He hath ordained for this station,
the souls of men would depart from their bodies, the inner realities of all
things would be shaken in their foundations, they that dwell within the realms
of creation would be dumbfounded, and those who move in the lands of allusion
would fade into utter nothingness.
