You ask, how can we know the infinite? I answer, not by reason. It is the office of reason to distinguish and define. The Infinite, therefore, cannot be ranked among its objects. You can apprehend the Infinite by a faculty superior to to reason, by entering into a state in which you are your finite self no longer - in which the divine essence is communicated to you. This is exstasy. It is the liberation of your mind from its finite consciousness.,,, But this sublime condition is not of permanent duration. It is only now and then that we can enjoy this elevation above the limits of the body and the world. - Plotinus: Letters to Flaccus, From P.D. Ouspensky: Tertium Organum, 1990
