Chapter 21
Temple of the Spirit

The Spirit of great virtue
a
Follows the Word according to God alone

b
The Word that became flesh
Seems indefinable, seems unfathomable

So unfathomable, so indefinable
And yet within it there is form

So indefinable, so unfathomable
And yet within it there is substance

So deep, so profound
a
And yet within it there is Spirit

The Spirit of God is supremely real
And yet within it there is faith

c
From the beginning to the present
The Spirit has always been present
In order to proclaim the source of all things

d
How do I know the true nature of the source?
By what lives within me
