No human being-- Ex33,20
can see Me
and survive.
Do not let God speak to us-- Ex20,19
or we shall die.
He that cometh to God-- Heb11,6
must believe.
I will espouse thee to Me in faith.-- Ho2,22

For however impressive may be-- As2,4,3
one's knowledge
or feeling of God
that knowledge or feeling
will have no resemblance to God
and amount to very little.

from the attainment of this high state
of union with God
when he is attached to any understanding,
feeling, imagining, opinion, desire or way of his own,
or to any other of his works or affairs,
and knows not
how to detach and denude himself of these impediments.
