... the contemplative, not only sees and touches what is real,
but beyond the surface of all that is actual,
he [and she] attains to communion with Freedom Who is the source of all activity.
This Reality, this Freedom, is not a concept, not a thing, not an object,
not even an object of knowledge:
it is the Living God, the Holy One,
the One to Whom we dare to utter a Name only
because [God] has revealed a Name to us,
but Who is beyond all Names ...
The New Man, (New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux) 1961:15
