That makes sense, but do we really know how to do that?
What I find in the mystics is an overwhelming experience of how God has loved us!
... God is forever the initiator, God is the doer, God is the one who seduces me in my
unworthiness. It's all about God's initiative! Then the mystics try desperately to give
back, to offer their lives, to the world and thus back to God.
Mystics are not trying to earn God's love by doing good things or going to church services.
That question is already and profoundly resolved. The mystics overwhelming experience
is full body blow of divine embrace, a radical acceptance by God even in their state of
fragmentation and poverty. That's what makes it "amazing" and "grace".
