You should know (God) without image, unmediated and without likeness. But if I am to know God without mediation in such a way, then 'I' must become 'he', and 'he' must become 'I'. More precisely I say: God must become me and I must become God, so entirely one that 'he' and this 'I' become one 'is' and act in this 'isness' as one, for this 'he' and this 'I', that is God and the soul, are very fruitful as we eternally do one work. Meister Eckhart
