The First Form Of Illuminated Consciousness Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

In Brother Lawerence's ‚Practice
of the presence of God‘,
in St. Bernard's ‚Converse with
the word‘, in Richard Rolle's ‚State of song‘,
‚when sweetest melody he took
with him dwelling in mind‘,
are there beautiful expressions
of the first form of illuminated consciousness.

(Jacob Boehme is rightly looked upon as a typical example oft he second: which is also found in one of its most attractive forms in St. Francis of Assisi. Suso and St. Theresa perhaps, may stand for the third, since in them the visionary and auditory phenomena were peculiarly well marked) .
