Hugh Of St. Victor

The entire time i was reading this passage the one line that stuck in my head was,

"in spiritual matters, when something is called 'the highest,' this doesn't mean that it is located about the top of the heavens, but rather that it is the inmost or most intimate of all.  Thus, to ascent to god is to enter oneself..."  

So i read this part a few times and the whole time i kept thinking of the song we used to always sing in church growing up, "Glory to God In the Highest."  it all made sense to me now i was always thinking that we were singing that he was the most high like in heaven...haha not at all.  i was wrong just thought i would share that point.  i get it now.

  1. yea i like how its not a literal meaning like He's "literally high up in heaven" but a more deep meaning. and actually one more powerful, i think, that just literally being above us physically.
