Unto this Darkness which is
beyond Light
we pray that we may come, and
may attain unto vision through
the loss of sight and knowledge,
and that in ceasing thus to see or
to know
we may learn to know that which
is beyond all perception and
understanding
(for this emptying of
our faculties
is true sight and knowledge).

~ Pseudo-Dionysius
Dionysius the Areopagite called Pseudo - to differentiate him from the Dionysius mentioned by Paul in Acts. He lived in the 6th Century and has had a profound impact on Christian mystics.
