"The soul does not receive from God as from a stranger, as the air receives light from the sun, the one receiving something alien to it. In contrast, the soul receives God neither in an estrangement nor as being placed under God, since what is placed under somebody else suffers estrangement and distance. The masters say that the
soul receives as light from light, where there is nothing strange or distant." Homily 2 - Meister Eckhart
