You are as holy as you wish to be. - John of Ruysbroeck

There is a distinction and differentiation, According to our reason, Between God and the Godhead, Between action and rest.

But the simple Being of God, According to the nature thereof, Is an eternal Rest of God And of all created things

And the Light floweth forth in similitude, And indraweth Itself in unity; Which we perceive, beyond the reason, In that high point of our understanding Which is bare and turned within.
