In the development of language, logic, law, science and ethics, etc man has evolved for himself tools which enable him to describe, locate, and organise the various elements of his world and thereby take charge of that environment, and to organise his relationships with the world around him to his advantage, but these tools reflect and work only in a perceived world of separate objects, a multiplicity. That is what language, logic, law etc have evolved to do: organise discrete objects and events.

Knowledge of a unitive existence eludes him while he persists in trying to access or formulate it using language, logic, etc. There are no separate elements to organise. Knowledge arrives and is contained non-verbally, preverbally, and one must learn to access it and store it in ways that are totally unprecedented in the rest of our experience.

We must give away pretty much our entire experience of the world as we have it, and of ourselves in that separate world—we must, perhaps, be born again—if we are to grow in mystical knowledge as we have previously grown in knowledge of our world of multiplicity. And as with “ordinary” language, the more use we make of it, the more subtle becomes the quality of the information available.
