Background
A description of the experience
Dionysius the Areopagite - De Mystica Theologica
This then be my prayer ... by thy persistent commerce with the mystical visions, leave behind both sensible perceptions and intellectual efforts and all objects of sense and intelligence and all things being and not being, and be raised aloft unknowingly to the union, as far as attainable with Him who is above every essence and knowledge.
For by the resistless and absolute ecstasy in all purity, from thyself and all, thou wilt be carried on high, to the super essential ray of the Divine darkness, when thou hast cast away all and become free of all
