“Seek Him from within yourself and learn who it is that appropriates everything in you—saying: My God, my Spirit, my reason, my soul, my body; learn where affliction and joy, love and hatred, involuntary wakefulness and involuntary drowsiness, involuntary irritability and involuntary loving come from; and when you have thoroughly examined all these, you will find Him within yourself, as One and Many, according to that Point, when you find the passage and exit from within yourself.”

Hippolytus
