Tips of Ancient Wisdom - 3

"For when the soul gives itself up completely to the Gods, committing all that concerns itself entirely to its Superiors, whilst purity of life is the consequence, and previous to this the divine rules lead the way where is nothing further that confines or trammels it; for all things are in the power of the Gods, and all things subsist around the Gods, and all things are full of the Gods; thereupon does the Divine Light illumine their souls, and being themselves rendered divine, they impart a tension and a strength to the spirit, to which they are united at birth, whilst the latter, being thus sharpened and at the same time governed by the soul, becomes the source of health to the whole body".

Julian The Emperor Oration upon the Mother of the Gods n. 18
