"When
thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and
creature; thou art that which God then was; thou art that whereof he
made thy nature and creature: Then thou hearest and seest even with
that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before ever thine own
willing or thine own seeing began."
"When thou standest
still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing,
and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth
through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee,
that thou dost not see nor hear God."
Jacob Boehme
"The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. The love with which I love God is the same love with which God loves me."
Meister Eckhart
