Notes from Wikiquote

from when it begins the conflict against the passions | and has begun to subdue them. | And as it subdues and silences them | so it abounds in the light of the mind | and is enlightened about hidden realities. | From that time, after the victory over the passions | the light of the mind begins | and as the passions are subdued | rest appears in the mind. | From here, then, it abounds in the vision of hidden things | and continually draws near to the wonder of thoughts. | 13.12, p. 302
