The Inner Light Quotes

“In the classic sense of the term, ‘ mysticism’ is connected to the idea of merging with the divine to such an extent that the sense of individuality is abolished. The expression ‘you cannot attain to God - once you do so, *you* are no more, only God is - may be said to be the essential basis of mysticism. The mystical experience itself is ‘trans-rational’ and can only be communicated via myth, symbol, or metaphor - a clear distinction with esotericism, which contains teachings that can in fact be directly and rationally transmitted.”
