' The Glimpse '...

As the human mind develops, it forms higher and higher conceptions of the deity until, finally, it is lifted above itself into a tremendous experience.

It loses itself in the deity itself, and when it returns to normal living, it does not need to seek further.

I do not refer here to the experience which several mystics have had called "the glimpse," but something which is of a once-and-for-all nature and which does not, in its essence, ever leave him.
