Marguerite Porete (c1250 - 1310) on the final stage of enlightenment

"... the soul no longer sees [its] own nothingness from the depths of its humility, nor the greatness of God through his great goodness. Instead, God sees himself in [them] through his own power, enlightens [them] himself, so that [they] see that nothing exists save God alone, the source of all being. What is, is God and the soul sees nothing but God, because whoever sees this of God, is God. So in this ... stage the soul is free, purified and enlightened, but not yet glorified ..."
