A  place where the soul rests

"All wealth and poverty and bliss depends on the will. The will is so free and so noble that it takes nothing from corporeal things, but performs its work of its own liberty. Intellect takes from corporeal things: in that respect the will is nobler. But it is in a part of the intellect, in a downward glancing and a descent, that this understanding receives images from corporeal things: but in its highest the intellect works without adducing any corporeal things."

"Now he says, "Jacob wanted to rest at that place. " The place is God and the divine essence, which gives a place, and life and being and order to all things. In that place the soul will rest, in the highest and inmost part of that place. And in the same ground, where He has His own rest, we too shall have our rest and possess it with Him. The place has no name, and no one can utter a word concerning it that is appropriate."
