"When the esoterist sets out to formulate his philosophy to communicate it to others, he is confronted with the fact that this knowledge of the higher forms of existence is obtained by different processes of thought, and that these processes only begin when he surpasses thought itself." 

Therefore, transcendental and superior ideas can only be known and can only communicate those ideas to persons capable of rising up to that sphere of consciousness. 

When you have to communicate those ideas to those who have not yet experienced that mode of consciousness, you have to crystallize them and shape them or fail completely to give the right impression. 

All the mystics have employed as similar imaginable as they could conceive, in order to convey their impressions; philosophers have really lost themselves in a maze of words and all of it has served as far as the soul is concerned that has not yet received some enlightenment. 

However, the cabalists use another method. They do not try to explain to the mind what the mind is incapable of comprehending, but they supply a series of symbols to meditate on, which allow to create a scale of achievement, step by step, thus allowing to ascend when it cannot fly. "
