In A Mystical Union

God - and the unity of God with the soul is so complete as to seem incredible, since He is so high Himself as to be beyond the reach of intelligence. The sincere seeker reaches farther than heaven, yes, farther than the angels. We want to reach far, far beyond measure and yet we find that all that to be understood or to be desired is still not God, but that where mind and desire end in that darkness, God shines. (To understand this, the reader may read Meister Eckhart: A Modern Translation by Raymond B. Blakney)
