Silence

In order to experience God, you have to strip away the linguistic labels that you habitually use. This is why Christian contemplatives use silence as a spiritual discipline and why Jesus went alone into the desert for 40 days. Until you shut off the internal chatter in your skull you cannot experience the divine:

All the soul needs to do during these times of quietude is be still and make no noise. What I mean by noise is rushing around with the intellect trying to rustle up reflections of gratitude and words of praise for the gift you are being given. It's that impulse of mind to catalogue your transgressions to convince yourself that you do not deserve to receive such grace. It's that commotion the faculties create, the intellect trying to conjure up images and the memory rushing to store them. These faculties wear me out.

(Saint) Teresa of Avila, quoted in Silence: A Christian History by Diarmaid MacCulloch
