To me after dwelling at first in eastern mysticism and getting tired by it .. since all my life I was more analytical inclined and my scientific pursue never ceased - I let go of it all in a brutal way.. during this time I've developed a passion for universal literature, and obviously went to the root of the problem ( all along I've never let go of reading bible as meditation literature, because this is a lifetime process and it's indeed good literature, tho I've spent fundamentally way less time doing this ) the European history, the modernism origins - and this intellectual mind, rational primal Christian mind - the way it analyze world, the way it describes itself, basically the way human soul is so complex and its complexity is of such nature.. and the structure of this complexity is similar to such a degree with Christian religion / Christian soul that Christian religion alone is capable to explaining it.

Anyway the cognition, the ideas, the interpretations that come from this Christian soul that now I find more and more outside of theology is shockingly existing a rapport of 1:1 to Eastern mystic prayers... the prayers which monks wrote while supposedly in trance or in communion with Holy Spirit, on a rapport of transcendence.

I don't have a conclusion yet, I'm just in absolute shock and I don't dare to think anything anymore about this.


Anyway guys tell me what exactly Augustine said here, or meant precisely:
