nor manifest and then became absent—'You interiorized by Your grace and manifested by Your description without change in Your Essence nor alteration to Your words'—but rather they are the ones who were absent from witnessing Him and then became present, and by their presence they witnessed Him in the form that is permanent in being, manifest to the eyes, concerning which the unitarians said: 'The two forms are one form in reality and essence, not in genus and appearance.' And in the world of human beings, the manifestation to them and the appearance was in their description.

As the Prince said in his epistle: "Because manifestation occurs according to the strength of the looker at Him, and its meaning is the lifting of the veil of darkness from the sight of the beholder, so that he may witness from the Essence of the Manifesting One according to his capacity in the limit of his incapacity and the fatigue of his sight from witnessing the light of the Divinity, without change in the Essence of the Manifesting One by a movement that necessitates for Him a transition from the state of His interiority."
