It's mystical
Recognizing this transcendence is a mystical thing. By the word “mystical,” I mean nothing of the esoteric religion of the East. I mean that there is such a thing as a Christian knowing God and meeting God for himself. That we can press our way into the sanctuary of the holy of holies, and with our hearts, we can meet, know, feel, sense, and experience God in a manner more wonderful than any man or woman can experience any human thing or any human being. This is what is taught here [in Hebrews], and this is basic to Christianity.Tozer:
