  7   1,      1  |       her neighbors, exercising herself in humble prayer, after
  8   1,      1  |     souls, begins by exercising herself, for a certain space of
  9   1,      1  |         to follow and to clothe herself with the truth. But, in
 10   1,      1  |         founded on knowledge of herself and of God; because prayer,
 11   1,      1  |    indeed, that the soul unites herself with God by the affection
 12   1,      1  |   lifting her desires first for herself -- for she considered that
 13   1,      1  |        she did not first profit herself, that is, if she did not
 14   1,      1  |       did not acquire virtue in herself -- addressed four requests
 15   1,      1  |       Father. The first was for herself; the second for the reformation
 16   1,      2  |      communion, sweetly to bind herself fast within herself and
 17   1,      2  |        bind herself fast within herself and with God, and knows
 18   1,      2  |       with a great knowledge of herself, being ashamed of her own
 19   1,      2  |      imperfection, appearing to herself to be the cause of all the
 20   1,      2  |         and displeasure against herself, and a feeling of holy justice,
 21   1,      3  |         desire that she made of herself, saying: "Do you not know,
 22   1,      4  |        through which, she deems herself worthy of pains and unworthy
 23   1,      4  |      Then the soul will inflame herself in this knowledge of Me
 24   1,      7  |  Wherefore, when the soul knows herself, as we have said above,
 25   1,      7  |   earnestness, she discovers in herself the bounty of My goodness,
 26   1,      7  |    which she considers again in herself. She attributes to Me, through
 27   1,      7  |       which she has obtained of herself, knowing that, by My grace,
 28   1,      7  |      say, without the medium of herself or of any advantage accruing
 29   1,      7  |       any advantage accruing to herself, and with the medium of
 30   1,      7  |      truth she has conceived in herself, but, loving Me in truth,
 31   1,      7  |       of which, she truly loves herself, extending her desire for
 32   1,      7  |         as she has done good to herself by the conception of virtue,
 33   1,      7  |      virtue; the soul disposing herself, for her chief conversation,
 34   1,      7  |       virtue, the soul draws to herself all the other virtues, which,
 35   2,      1  |     love, with a holy hatred of herself, accompanied by true humility
 36   2,      1  |       the light of knowledge of herself and of My goodness, with
 37   2,      1  |         the soul should have of herself and of Me, and in this knowledge
 38   2,      1  |       from Me; and rendering to herself that which she sees herself
 39   2,      1  |     herself that which she sees herself to have merited, knowing
 40   2,      1  |      she does not even exist of herself, and attributing to Me,
 41   2,      1  |   attributing to Me, and not to herself, her being, which she knows
 42   2,      1  |                And she seems to herself to be ungrateful for so
 43   2,      1  |       received, and so seems to herself worthy of suffering; wherefore
 44   2,      1  |       odious and displeasing to herself through her guilt. And this
 45   2,      1  |        Me, and attributes it to herself, through vainglory, and
 46   2,      2  |         the soul should conform herself to this parable. ~
 47   2,      3  |       as I have said, not doing herself the injury of sin in order
 48   2,      3  |        because she carries with herself the light of holy discretion,
 49   2,      4  |       which the soul obtains of herself, she knows more of God,
 50   2,      4  |  knowing the goodness of God in herself, the sweet mirror of God,
 51   2,      4  |         eye of the intellect at herself in the sweet mirror of God,
 52   2,      4  |       found in the knowledge of herself and of God, and her hunger
 53   2,      5  |         receive and increase in herself grace, more or less, according
 54   2,      5  |       it pleases her to dispose herself willingly with affection,
 55   2,      5  |       same way, she can dispose herself to evil as to good, in spite
 56   2,     10  |        filled with love, seeing herself so much loved. Having passed
 57   2,     10  |      the earth, the soul strips herself of vice; on the second she
 58   2,     10  |         on the second she fills herself with love and virtue; and
 59   2,     14  |  intoxicated, could not contain herself, but standing before the
 60   2,     15  |      For the soul cannot defend herself against her enemies, nor
 61   2,     15  |   against her enemies, nor help herself through her own power, but
 62   2,     15  |       and knowing Me would know herself, and so would remain in
 63   2,     17  |     love. Now she has separated herself from Me, like an adulteress,
 64   2,     17  |      like an adulteress, loving herself, and creatures more than
 65   2,     17  |       Me, and has made a god of herself, persecuting Me with many
 66   2,     21  |        the Blood, and bewailing herself more on account of her first
 67   2,     25  |   abundance, and will re-clothe herself on the Last Day of Judgment,
 68   2,     25  |         soul being satisfied in herself, and, as I have told you,
 69   2,     30  |         exercises perfection in herself, as I will tell you below.
 70   2,     33  |      and of the neighbor, finds herself accompanied by Me, who am
 71   2,     37  |        this is because the soul herself is at first imperfect, from
 72   2,     37  |       that takes no thought for herself, or, at least, in the moment
 73   2,     37  |   serving Me, irrespectively of herself. It was with this imperfect
 74   2,     38  |       as I see need in the soul herself and in other creatures.
 75   2,     40  |   mortal sin, she had separated herself from Me, and I deprived
 76   2,     40  |       of desire. When she knows herself and her darkness, she opens
 77   2,     40  |        time of trouble, deeming herself unworthy of peace and quietness
 78   2,     40  |      the knowledge of Me and of herself, she continues to pray with
 79   2,     40  |       defects, so that, feeling herself deprived of consolation
 80   2,     40  |   self-knowledge, to rise above herself, mounting the throne of
 81   2,     41  |      may be thus led to enclose herself in the house of self-knowledge,
 82   3,      1  |          Why does she thus shut herself in? She does so from fear,
 83   3,      1  |       which the soul can defend herself from every adversary, if
 84   3,      2  |       holy desire and satisfies herself, becoming full of love for
 85   3,      2  |        recognize My goodness in herself and continue her exercises
 86   3,      2  |         season the knowledge of herself with the knowledge of My
 87   3,      2  |       loosen her affection from herself, and fasten it in Me with
 88   3,      2  |        desire, the soul raising herself to Me, with knowledge of
 89   3,      2  |        to Me, with knowledge of herself and of My mercy, seasoned
 90   3,      2  |      soul should therefore spur herself on with prayer, and when
 91   3,      3  |        which the soul separates herself from imperfect love, and
 92   3,      3  |        ways how the soul raises herself from imperfection and attains
 93   3,      3  |        of perseverance, barring herself into the House of Self-Knowledge,
 94   3,      3  |    hatred corrects and reproves herself, not only for those things
 95   3,      3  |    humble because she will know herself in humble and continual
 96   3,     10  |          How the soul who finds herself in the unitive state desires
 97   3,     10  |         earthly state and unite herself to GOD. ~
 98   3,     10  |        glory to Me, and finding herself, amid the conversation of
 99   3,     12  |      servants of God as well as herself) in order that He should
100   3,     12  |       of tears, she rose out of herself, exceeding every limit of
101   3,     14  |        But the soul, exercising herself in virtue, begins to lose
102   3,     14  |    proceeds, with love, to know herself and My goodness in her,
103   3,     14  |   compassionate sorrow, pitying herself with the spiritual compassion
104   3,     14  |         growing, and exercising herself in the light of self-knowledge,
105   3,     14  |        conceives displeasure at herself and finally perfect self-hatred.
106   3,     14  |         and she begins to unite herself to Me, and to conform her
107   3,     14  |      joy and compassion. Joy in herself through the affection of
108   3,     14  |      any penalty or loss due to herself; for she does not think
109   3,     14  |       for she does not think of herself, but only of rendering glory
110   3,     14  |     Holy Cross, thus conforming herself to the humble, patient,
111   3,     14  |       the union which she feels herself to have with Me, tasting
112   3,     14  |     feel the fire of My love in herself, because love of her neighbor
113   3,     14  |        soul obtained by knowing herself and My goodness in her.
114   3,     14  |       When, therefore, she sees herself to be ineffably loved by
115   3,     14  |        love with which she sees herself to be loved. And, for this
116   3,     14  |     neighbor ineffably, and so, herself, loves the object which
117   3,     14  |       love with which she feels herself to be loved by Me, and therefore
118   3,     14  |        consolation, considering herself unworthy of peace and quiet
119   3,     15  |     loves the less she seems to herself to love. Thus is holy desire,
120   3,     18  |     soul obeyed and rose out of herself, in order to learn the true
121   3,     18  |  displeasure, she rises against herself. This law has also been
122   3,     19  |    tedious and insupportable to herself; thus injuring her own perfection;
123   3,     20  |   having known My Will, clothes herself with it, and fixes her attention
124   3,     20  |        desire; she does not see herself in herself, seeking her
125   3,     20  |         does not see herself in herself, seeking her own consolation
126   3,     20  |      without any medium, unites herself directly to Me, participates
127   3,     21  |       that is to say, nourishes herself with love of her neighbor,
128   3,     21  |     prevent her feeling pain in herself, or in others. In herself,
129   3,     21  |       herself, or in others. In herself, through the offense done
130   3,     22  |       thanks to God, humiliates herself; then she prays for the
131   3,     22  |       inebriated, seemed beside herself, as if the feelings of the
132   3,     25  |       love, as if to certify to herself that which she has seen
133   3,     30  |      jewels of virtue, reproves herself, seeming to herself to have
134   3,     30  |    reproves herself, seeming to herself to have used her time but
