And this Appearing [or Discovery] in the anxious breaking Wheel, is a Flash of a great Swiftness, which the Anguish sharpens thus in the Sourness, so that the Sharpness of the Flash is consuming, and that is the Fireflash, as it is to be seen in Nature, when one k hard Substance strikes against another, how it [grinds or] sharpens itself, and generates a Flash of Fire, which was not before. And the recomprehended Mind l comprehends the Flash, and discovers itself now in the Sourness; and the Flash with its strong [or fierce] Sharpness consumes the comprehended Sourness, which holds it, [viz. the Will in the Mind] captive in the Darkness; and now it is free from the Darkness. 66. Thus the Sourness receives the Flash, and goes in the Terror [Shriek or Crack] backwards, as it were overcome, and from the Terror [Shriek or Crack] becomes soft; in which Meekness the Flash discovers itself, as in its own Mother. And from the Meekness it becomes m white and clear: And in the Flash there is great Joy, that the Will therein is delivered from the Darkness. 67. Thus now the eternal Mind n unites itself in the recomprehended [or reconceived] Will, in [or unto] the Meekness of the Deliverance out of the Darkness of the Anxiety; and the Sharpness of the Consuming of the eternal Darkness stays in the Flash of the Meekness; and the Flash o discovers itself in the anxious Mind in many thousand Thousands, yea, p without End and Number. And in that Discovery, the Will and the Inclination [or yielding up itself, discover themselves] always again in a great Desire to go forth out of the Darkness; where then in every Will the Flash stands again to [make an] Opening, which I call the Centrum [the Center] in my Writings all over this Book. 68. Thus then the first Longing, and Desiring (viz. the fierce [or stern] generating in the first Will) with the dark Mind, continues q in itself, and [has] therein the Discovering of the everenduring Fireflash in the dark Mind; and the same dark Mind stands eternally in Anguish, and in the Flash, in the Breaking, Attracting, Rising up, and Desiring without Intermission [to be] k A Flint and Steel. 1 Or conceives.

The Gate of God the Father. 69. And thus now in the Sharpness of the Fireflash, the Light in the eternal Mind springs up out of the recomprehended Will to Meekness and Light, that it might be freed from the Darkness; and so this Freedom from the Darkness is a Meekness and s Satisfaction of the Mind, in that it is free from the Anxiety, and stands in the Sharpness of the Fireflash, which breaks the sour Darkness, and makes it clear and light in its [first Glimpse, Shining, or] Appearing. 70. And in this [shining or] appearing of the Sharpness, stands the Omnipotence; for t it breaks the Darkness in itself, and makes the Joy and great Meekness like that, when a Man is come out of an Anguishing [or scorching] Fire to sit in a temperate Place of Refreshment; and thus the Flash in itself is so fierce and sudden, yea fiercer and more sudden than a Thought, and out of the Darkness in itself (in its Kindling) sees into the Light; and then is so very much terrified, that it lets its Power (which it had in the Fire) sink down. And this Terror [or Shriek or Crack] is made in the Sharpness of the Flash; and this now is the Terror [Shriek or Crack] of great Joy; and there the recomprehended Will desires the Crack or Joy in the Meekness; and the Desiring is the Attracting of the Joy, and the Attracting is the Infecting [or Mingling] in the Will; and that [which is] attracted makes the Will swell [or be impregnated,] for it is therein, and the Will holds it [fast.] 71. Now here is nothing which the Will with the Sharpness or Essence could draw to it but the Meekness, the Deliverance from the Dark; this is the Desire of the Willing, and therein then stands the pleasant Joy, which the Will draws to itself; and the Attracting in the Will dwells [or impregnates] the Will, that it becomes full. 72. And thus the comprehended Will is swelled [or impregnated] by the Joy in the Meekness, which it desires (without Intermission) to generate out of itself, for its own Joy again, and for its sweet Taste [or Relish] in the Joy. And the same Will to generate, comprehends the Meekness in the Joy (which stands in r Center or Principle. s Welldoing.
