Bas biopsy came out negative to a cancer and I am so happy that she is okay! Thank you God! God, the cause of all things, embraces all and is above all, is not without being nor without life. God does not lack reason or intelligence. Yet, God is not an object. God has no form or shape, no quality, no quantity, no weight. God is not restricted to any place. God cannot be seen. God cannot be touched. Our sense cannot perceive God, our mind cannot grasp God. God is not swayed by needs or drives or inner emotions. Things or events that take place in our world can never upset God. God needs no light. God suffers neither change nor corruption nor division. God lacks nothing and remains always the same. God is neither soul nor intellect. God does not imagine, consider, argue or understand. God cannot be expressed in words or conceived in thoughts. God does not fall into any category of number or order. God possesses no greatness nor smallness, no equality nor inequality, no similarity nor dissimilarity. God doesnt stand, nor move, nor is God addressed. God doesnt yield power, neither is God power itself nor is God light. God doesnt live, nor is God life itself. God may not be identified with being, nor with eternity or time. God is not subject to the reach of the mind. God is not knowledge, nor truth, nor kingship, nor wisdom. God is not the one, nor oneness; not godhead nor goodness. God is not even spirit in the way we understand it, nor sonship nor fatherhood. God is not anything else known to us or known to any other being. God has nothing in common with things that exist or with things that dont exist. Nothing that exists knows God as God really is. Nor does God know things that exist through a knowledge existing outside God himself. Reason cannot reach God, or know God. God is neither darkness nor light, neither falsehood nor truth. All statements affirmed about God or denied about God are equally wrong. For although we can make positive or negative statements about all things below God, we can neither affirm nor deny God himself. Because the all-perfect and unique cause of all things is beyond all affirmation. Moreover, by the simple pre-eminence of his absolute nature, God falls outside the scope of any negation. God is free from every limitation and beyond all limitation. The higher we rise in contemplation the more words fail. Words cannot express pure mind. When we enter the darkness that lies beyond our grasp, we are forced, not merely to say little, but rather to maintain an absolute silence, a silence of thoughts as well as of words... As we move up from below to that which is higher in the order of being, our power of speech decreases, until, when we reach the top, we find ourselves totally speechless. We are then overcome by God who is wholly ineffable.
