Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Math.5:8
God cannot catch us
Unless we stay in the unconscious room
Of our hearts
Irish Poet Patrick Kavanagh
If you truly want to SEE, you must trust your heart, you must learn to linger in the heart, and go absentia cerebrally.The heart centre must be watered, and it's fertile soil well tilled. There is no greater reward than attending your heart,
It was a lingering here, in his darkest hour of the night that John of the Cross was so inspired to write:
There in the Lucky dark,
none to observe me, darkness far and wide;
no sign for me to mark,
no other light, no guide
except for my Heart-- the fire, the fire inside!
"Deep within them I will plant My law, writing it upon their hearts" Jer.31:33
A christian mystic dwells in the Cave of the Heart, he is not interested in intellectual or religious contests which are all cerebral in nature.Not for him either the conflict of brain and heart, intellect and emotions, for all is surrendered to the Heart. For him/her the flaw in reason is the very hole they can escape through to knowledge, without a book to read.It is the Way of the Heart. Language is incapable of spelling out the needs of the heart, it's deep longing to see the face of God.
The heart provides the images that words can never draw. Images are the the mediators between experience and language, as they are closer to the actual than the veil of words. We are seeking to invoke images here not in your brain but your heart. It is better felt than telt. By using heart we are avoiding the old wine skins that only contain a brittle past.
Once you taste the nectar of your heart, like Kabir said you "are stricken with silence."To see the invisible, to see God, is a mystical experience, it is tasting the ineffable. This Silence is not the absence of something, but is far greater. It is plumbing the depths. Many astronauts have had mystical experiences when confronting the cosmic silence. It is the discovery of depth, the "deep things of God."
By keeping silent in heart we reach the very roots of language, we become united to the source and have no desire to leave the source in empty words but rather abide in Him.
