The Metaphysical Mystic And Deification. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Metaphysical Mystic And Deification.



The metaphysical mystic,
for whom the Absolute
is impersonal
and transcendent,
describes his final
attainment of that Absolute
as deification,
or the utter transmutation
of the self in God.

Hey, Tony! Hoping this finds you well. On what you say here, do you think it depends on the religious tradition or perhaps, even more particularly, on the person? For me one of the most succinct descriptions of the divine is that God is both infinite and personal. This to go alongside the biblical descriptors that God is spirit and God is love. -Glen
