Jacob Boehme
When thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and creature thou art that which God then wats thou art that whereof he made thy nature and creature Then thou hearest and seest even with that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before every thine own willing or thine own seeing began.
Jacob Boehme
