Spiritual knowledge (Christianity)

  • Higher knowing

Description

This way of knowing does not use images or logical reasoning. It unites immediately and intuitively with its object. Love aspires to its goal; intellect unites with it as the fire and heat of love melt out into pure white light. Unlike mundane knowledge, this kind of knowing can attain God.

Context

One of two ways of knowing distinguished by Meister Eckhart.
