Or maybe there is someone who imagines that the level and the stirring of spiritual prayer consists in one of these things.

and countless others like them, (belong) to the level of pure prayer | pure thoughts on the level of the soul | which arise in a person under the title of prayer. | In the life of the spirit, on the other hand | there is no (longer any) prayer. | Every kind of prayer that exists (consists of) beauteous thoughts | and these are stirrings on the level of the soul. | On the level and in the life of the spirit | there are no thoughts, no stirring | no, not even any sensation | or the slightest movement of the soul concerning anything | for (human) nature completely departs from these things | and from all that belongs to itself. | (Instead) it remains in a certain ineffable and inexplicable silence | for the working of the Holy Spirit stirs in it | it being raised above the realm of the soul's understanding. | 32.4, p. 143
