When the soul has completely purified and emptied itself of all that is not God... it becomes immediately enlightened by and transformed in God; because He communicates His own supernatural Being in such a way that the soul seems to be God Himself1 ... Because the soul has attained to this state of union, the devil is utterly powerless to disturb it ... for he is kept at a distance ...2
2John of the Cross, A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ, trans. David Lewis (London: Thomas Baker, 1889), explanation of stanza 39, sec. 3.

| Printing Observations | All works are mastered in 16-bit color depth. Standard web formats are unable to retain the full depth of this data; consequently, the physical print will differ from the digital preview. While the online image is optimized for fast loading, the printing process utilizes the original 16-bit edit, allowing for deeper saturations and subtle chromatic shifts to emerge that are lost during compression for web displaying. |
