Note 295 — Chapter VIII · ON THE SOUL (ANIMA).

“By falling away and growing cold from a spiritual life, the soul has become what it now is, but is capable also of returning to what it was at the beginning, which I think is intimated by the prophet in the words, ‘Return, O my soul, unto thy rest,’ so as to be wholly this.”—Epistle of Justinian to Patriarch of Constantinople.
