"the mind passes from the Son to the Father"

"They who according to the ordinance of the Lord believe in the Father, when they hear the name of the Father, receive the Son along with Him in their thought, as the mind passes from the Son to the Father, without treading on an unsubstantial vacuum interposed between them. But those who are diverted to the title “ungenerate” instead of Father, get a bare notion of this name, learning only the fact that He did not at any time come into being, not that He is Father." (Ref. conf. Eun. 100)

οἱ γὰρ κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ δεσπότου εἰς τὸν πατέρα τὴν πίστιν ἔχοντες ὁμοῦ τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὸν υἱὸν τῇ διανοίᾳ συμπαρεδέξαντο, οὐδενὶ τῷ μεταξὺ διαστήματι τῆς διανοίας ἀπὸ τοῦ υἱοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα κενεμβατούσης. οἱ δὲ ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς παρενεχθέντες πρὸς τὴν τοῦ ἀγεννήτου κλῆσιν ψιλὴν τὴν τοῦ ὀνόματος τούτου ἀναλαμβάνουσιν ἔννοιαν, μόνον τὸ μὴ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν διδασκόμενοι, οὐ μὴν καὶ τὸ πατέρα εἶναι.
