The soul that has not been practiced over a long time and educated fully in knowledge of self is not raised up to knowledge of God. In vain he raises the eye of the heart to see God when he is not yet prepared to see himself. Let a person first learn to see his own invisible things before he presumes he is able to grasp at invisible divine things.

RIchard of St. Vicar in Son of Man by Andrew Harvey
