A Method to Avoid Impeding the All

**12. When you delay in something
you cease to rush toward the all.

For to go from the all to the all
you must deny yourself of all in all.

And when you come to the possession of the all
you must possess it without wanting anything.

Because if you desire to have something in all
your treasure in God is not purely your all.
  1. In this nakeneness the spirit finds its quietude and rest. For in
    coveting nothing, nothing tires it by pulling it up and nothing oppresses
    it by pushing it down, because it is in the center of its humility. When
    it covets something, by this very fact it tires itself.**
St. John of the Cross, Ascent of Mt. Carmel, Book One, Chapter 13, ICS Publications
