But when we transcend ourselves, and become in our ascent towards God, so simple that the naked love in the height can lay hold of us, where love enfolds love, above every exercise of virtue that is, in our Origin, of Which we are spiritually born, then we cease, and we and all our selfhood die in God. And in this death we become hidden [children] of God, and find a new life within us: and that is eternal life.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
