Symeon
I think this is an interesting viewpoint. I agree that the more we know, the more we realize that we know nothing. This concept applies to every facet of being. The more knowledge we gan about God the greater we understand that we have no idea about His being. The way to understanding starts in a room with two doors. The first door when entered reveals a room with six doors. This continues until there are to many doors to choose from. Symeon believes that the way to break the cycle and find true understanding is not choose any doors and to clear the mind. I really like the first passage which is filled with truth. When some one is immersed in God they perceive everything differently. It is the only way they can see. It is like seeing for the first time. suddenly the whole world is different.

I agree with your statement that: "when someone is immersed in God they perceive everything differently." Like seeing for the first time and seeing things different. This is confirmed when talking to a follower of Jesus and they go thru a difficult time you can hear their attitude about how it must be neccessary to become what God has in store for them. Some beauty will be seen out of their ashes to help another. In contrast; a non follower of Jesus cannot see any reason why they have to deal with such tragedy or pain and continue to say this isn't fair.
