Focus - Negative Theology

Focus..

Negative Theology - it is recognized that we can never truly define God in words. All that can be done is to say, it isn't this, but also, it isn't that either. In the end, the student must transcend words to understand the nature of the Divine. In this sense, negative theology is not a denial. Rather, it is an assertion that whatever the Divine may be, when we attempt to capture it in human words, we must inevitably fall short.

Very interesting. Just when you think you have it figured out - WHAM! Your wrong, or it changes, or we change...

Love the pic!
