the arbitrator
There are some who regard the end considering how life will end for them, and some who regard the beginning how it was decreed for them in eternity. The later are higher because the end is contingent upon the beginning. Some take leave of past and future, and are sons of the moment, for they contemplate Him, happy with the result of the predestination of God - great and glorious - and what appears of it, and these are higher than the one preceding. Then there are some who take leave of present, past, future, whose hearts are absorbed in the Arbitrator, clinging to their vision of Him, and this is the highest level.
