Any predication that is made of God, such as "God is a rock," both discloses and hides God. As Meister Eckhart preached, "As God reveals Himself, he hides more deeply in His mystery. The central tenet of mysticism is, as Epistolary John wrote, "God is love," and it is this predication that requires any description of God to be inadequate to its divine referent. Love must be indeterminate because coercion or compulsion isn't love. If there is such a thing as love, it is freely chosen. There must always be an irreducible remainder of indeterminate ambiguity about love so that it doesn't disappear into the equivalency of an identity. If one knows the beloved in full, then one does not love her. The mystic's desire is for the direct apprehension of God, sometimes called the "Beatific Vision." But the mystic's "direct" apprehension of God is in and through the indirection of the "Cloud of Unknowing." The mystic's experience of God is through analogy rather than the equivalencies of identity because analogy is knowing without determination, which is love.
