I wonder what justifies the move from "Beyond knowledge is the unknowable and metaphorical darkness," to the inference that that darkness "is the realm of inconceivable holiness and light." Couldn't we just as easily go the way of Schopenhauer or HP Lovecraft, and fall back on our natural tendency to fear the unknown, in which this mysterious source of the natural order would be an inhuman horror?

It makes sense that our ordinary modes of cognition would be helpless in understanding these cosmic matters, assuming our powers of reasoning evolved to enable us to control our immediate environment in a mundane sense. The esoteric heart of religion used to be about an initiation into a peak experience, using entheogens or some other way of becoming more godlike, less profane, more embracing of the larger scheme that dwarfs our mammalian preconceptions.
