“The mystical state is no more incompatible with form and matter than a mirror is incompatible with the images which it reflects. The mirror transcends, is other than, its images, and for this very reason is able to reflect them perfectly and clearly. As Eckhart says, ‘If my eye is to discern colour, it must itself be free from colour.’”
