Rembrandt - Ship at Sea
Mysticism starts with the raising of the Sails
and the Gods provide the Wind.
To go into the open Sea is different
than rowing around the shore.
I sensed the limitations of rowing versus
the Sail and started to overcome the criticism
of others that in applying the Sails I was slothful
and lazy. The criticism kept me rowing for many years.
I started to understand that to "Know" truths
by a simple glance of the Soul was a Mode of
Knowledge and Understanding far above
the Human Mind. The Mind in its turn seeks
after Truths by reasoning and will not tend
to acknowledge the Superhuman Mode or
Mystical Mode, or even their existence.
