The Journey of the Mind
In order to come to thoughtful consideration of the First Principle, which is totally spiritual and eternal and above us, we must pass through the vestiges that are corporeal and eternal and outside us.
(Saint) Bonaventure, The Journey of the Mind to God (links to Amazon)
Approaching God requires us to strip away our human limitations one by one. We have to reach into our minds and begin stripping away everything that is “not God”. Then we will begin to see that, in the end, language is a woefully under-powered tool for understanding the nature of reality.
