"Although the doctrine of the transcendent unity of the Intellect is affirmed by all revealed scriptures, it nevertheless remains esoteric in that it cannot be transmitted to everyone without the risk of a misleading simplification.
"The chief danger is that, in its effort to comprehend, the imagination may concieve of the unity of the Spirit or Intellect, as a sort of material unity. This would lead to the obscuring of the distinction between God and creation, as well as the essential uniqueness of each individual creature."
Titus Burkhardt
