The Essence, Stability and Movement of Intelligence

We must posit these three genera, essence, movement and stability because intelligence thinks each of them separately. Essence indeed is the object of intuition but not intuition itself. The latter exists as essence only because it starts from and returns there too. In this way, stability and movement would together form but one into the same thing. So, then contemplate pure intelligence instead of seeking it with your bodily eyes. Then, will you see the hearth of being, where shines an unsleeping light?
