Before you lower your gaze, self-annihilation takes place.

“...for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

The mysticism of sight promotes a simple truth – namely that if one speaks of God, one no longer speaks of God. The consensus is that the divine is a construct so great and mortal perception so small and flawed, that we would be unable to discuss the divine without tainting it within the confines of our limited understanding.
