A description of the experience
Eriugena, Johannes Scotus - Periphyseon I
He is not moved at all. For of God it is most truly said that He is motion at rest and rest in motion. For He is at rest unchangingly in Himself, never departing from the stability of His Nature; yet He sets Himself in motion through all things in order that those things which essentially subsist by Him may be. For by His motion all things are made.
