March In That Direction

Know that the world of Unification lies beyond sense: if you want Unity, march in that direction.

O God, do Thou reveal to the soul that place where speech is growing without letters.
That the pure soul may make of its head a foot (fly headlong) towards the far stretching expanse of non-existence—
An expanse very ample and spacious; and from it this phantasy and being (of ours) is fed.
(The realm of) phantasies is narrower than non-existence (potential existence): on that account phantasy is the cause of pain.
(The realm of actual) existence, again, was (ever) narrower than (the realm of) phantasy: hence in it moons become like the moon that has waned.
Again, the existence of the world of sense and colour is narrower (than this), for ’tis a narrow prison. The cause of narrowness is composition (compoundness) and number (plurality): the senses are moving towards composition.
Know that the world of Unification lies beyond sense: if you want Unity, march in that direction.
