"A God understood is no God at all."
-St. Augustine

"They will seek me diligently, but will not find me." (Prov. 1:28)
-Bible

"Beyond intellect there is yet another stage. In this another eye is
opened, by which he beholds the unseen, what is to be in the future,
and other things which are beyond the keen of intellect. ... God most
high has favored His creatures by giving them something analogous to
the special faculty of prophecy, namely dreams. ... dreams (because
they fall beyond what can be perceived) are analogous to prophecy ....
The other properties of prophetic revelation are apprehended only by
immediate experience from the practice of the mystic way."
-Watt, W. Montgomery. The Faith and Practice of Al-Ghazzali: 64-66

"We accept and teach the view of the great Hermetic thinkers of all
times, as well as of those illumined souls who have reached higher
planes of being, both of whom assert that the inner nature of THE ALL
is UNKNOWABLE. This must be so, for naught by THE ALL itself can
comprehend its own nature and being."
-The Kybalion, by Three Initiates, Chapter IV.

"There is a great invisible Spirit, which no eye of angel has ever
seen, no thought of heart has ever comprehended, and it was never
called by any name".
-Gospel of Judas

Matthew asks Jesus, “Lord… teach us the truth,” to which Jesus
replies, “He Who Is, is ineffable… He is unnameable… he is ever
incomprehensible"
-The Sophia of Jesus Christ,

Abraxas is the Supreme Unknowable, the source of 365 Emanations. Even
in the later Kaballah, the Aeons are the innermost circle of angels,
surrounding the spectral radiance of God.
-Sophia

 [There is a transcendental] "indefinable mysterious power that
pervades everything, from the smallest particle of matter to the
biggest form of life".
-Mahatma Gandhi

"In the Sefer Yetzirah, God is really considered as the Infinite Being
and therefore indefinable; God, in the full extent of His power and of
His existence, is above, but not outside (extra) of the letters and
numbers, that is to say, not outside of the principles and of the laws
which we distinguish in this world."

The tao (reason) which can be tao-ed (reasoned) is not the Eternal Tau
(Reason). The name which can be named is not the Eternal Name.
-Tao de Ching

"...And then of course there is all that Buddhist nonsense..."
-Mark
