" "Unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God: for the like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure, by a bound free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God. Believe that nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once, times, places, substances, qualities, quantities, you may understand God.

Additional quotes by Giordano Bruno
The intellect being developed to the comprehension of a certain definite and specific form, and the will to a love commensurate with such comprehension; the intellect does not stop there, but by its own light it is prompted to think of this: that it contains within itself the germ of everything intelligible and desirable, until it comes to comprehend with the intellect the depth of the fountain of ideas, the ocean of every truth and goodness. So that it happens, that whatever conception is presented to the mind, and becomes understood by it, from that which is so presented and comprehended it judges, that above it, is other greater and greater, and finds itself ever in a certain way discoursing and moving with it.

O intelecto universal ( a causa eficiente) é (...) o todo que preenche todas as coisas, o que ilumina o universo e leva a natureza a produzir suas várias espécies de acordo. É para a produção das coisas naturais o que nosso intelecto é para a representação das coisas. Os pitagóricos o chamam de ''movedor'' e ''agitador do universo'' (...) os plantonistas o chamam ''o artífice do mundo'' (...) os hermeticistas dizem que é o ''mais fecundo em sementes'' ou ainda, que ele é ''o semeador de sementes'' (...) Orfeu o chama de ''o olho do mundo'' (...) Empédocles o chama de o ''diferenciador'' (...) Plotinus diz que ele é o ''pai e progenitor (...) quanto a nós, nós o chamamos o ''artífice interno'', porque dá forma a matéria, formando-a dentro como uma semente ou como uma raiz lançando-se a frente, desdobrando o tronco, de dentro do tronco impelindo para fora os galhos, dos galhos os ramos derivados, desfraldando brotos de dentro deles. (...) Há três tipos de intelecto: o divino, que é tudo, o mundano, do qual falamos, que (re)produz tudo, e o outro, singular, que se torna tudo, porque é necessário um meio termo entre dois extremos, e esta é a verdadeira causa eficiente, não apenas extrínseca, mas intrínseca, de todas as formas naturais.
