Yet the unknowable God must also yearn to be known, for why else would the Infinite one reveal itself to us through the mystical experience of communion with the visionary realms? This is why the mystical experience is the most healing event in a person's life. The unknowable reveals itself in theophanies of the divine imagination. So it is that a temple or any work of sacred art first appears in the mind of the mystic as a theophany to be shared, that God may be revealed, that the unknown may be known. Artists labor to translate the vision into tangible form as an offering to spirit and to uplift people. Those who know not God carry the sadness of the unrevealed. This is why the soul yearns to know God, why we seek to know our deeper selves and why the Koran states, "To know oneself is to know Allah." God is the hidden treasure longing to be known and by that knowledge we are healed and brought into the light of love and wisdom.
The supreme Godhead is greater and beyond all consciousness and knowing. All words and concepts fail to grasp the Great Mystery of the transcendental cause of existence.
Without a cosmos, God cannot be known and loved by creatures. Every moment, God creates a staggering masterwork to astonish and inspire us if we could but see it.
Love,
Alex and Allyson
