St. John of the Cross said, “Take my lofty spiritual concepts and plunge them into darkness and then burn them. Let me love only you Beloved. Let me, quietly and with unutterable simplicity, only love you.” These potent words point to the futility of holding onto the idea that understanding the “absolute truth” will enable us to rise above our human experience and achieve a higher state of consciousness that’s more desirable or worthy. They point to the revelation that transcendence is a denial of the Beloved that is ever-present in the naked fact of our humanity.
