In persons of a very highly strung
and mobile type, who tend
to rapid oscillations between
pain and pleasure states,
rather than to the long
slow movements of
an ascending consciousness,
attainment of the Unitive Life
is sometimes preceded
by the abrupt invasion
of a wild and unendurable
desire to see God,
to apprehend
the Transcendent
in its fulness.
