Thank you! Yes - and then the next question is quite how you manage that type in relation to the rest of religion, which must continue to be 'sober' for the sake of practical living. I would hope that its influence could be something like a fountainhead which guides, if not dictates, the necessarily 'worldly minded' strata. And so I pine for the day that the likes of Eckhart and Porete are taken to be centrepieces in Christian religion.
