Later on, I was thinking about the innermost [angels] or the innermost heaven, and the question occurred to me whether they were holy, and therefore the holy spirit. Then a voice came to me from the innermost heaven, through intermediate angels and spirits, speaking from them and saying that they are not holy, but the Lord Alone is holy, Who is their holiness Itself-and now saying that no one is holy from his own power but the Lord Alone, and that they are therefore against being called holy, because in themselves they are filthy.
