Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
St John of the Cross – I came into the unknown
I came into the unknown
And stayed there unknowing
Rising beyond all science
I was so far inside
So dazed and far away
My senses were released
From feelings of my own
My mind had found a surer way;
A knowledge by unknowing
Rising beyond all science
This knowledge by unknowing
Is such a soaring force
That scholars argue long
But never leave the ground.
Their knowledge always fails the source;
To understand unknowing,
Rising beyond all science
