Hej Thomas.
Jeg opdager, at jeg ikke ordentligt har forsøgt at læse det citat af den engelske mystiker William Law (fra ca. år 1700), du præsenterer - ukommenteret.
For this turning to the Light and Spirit of God within Thee, is thy only true turning unto God, there is no other Way of finding Him, but in that Place where he dwelleth in Thee. For though God be everywhere present, yet He is only present to Thee in the deepest, and most central Part of thy Soul. Thy natural Senses cannot possess God, or unite Thee to Him, nay thy inward Faculties of Understanding, Will, and Memory, can only reach after God, but cannot be the Place of his Habitation in Thee. But there is a Root, or Depth in Thee, from whence all these Faculties come forth, as Lines from a Centre, or as Branches from the Body of the Tree. This Depth is called the Centre, the Fund or Bottom of the Soul. This Depth is the Unity, the Eternity, I had almost said, the Infinity of thy Soul; for it is so infinite, that nothing can satisfy it, or give it any Rest, but the infinity of God. William Law For mig lyder det smukt og rigtigt (selvom det falder mig svært at oversætte - Thee = dig), og alligevel synes jeg ikke, det er fuldstændigt udtømmende. Men der er jo også grænser for, hvad ord kan udtrykke 
M.v.h. Arne.
