unknown and known

Meister Eckhart clears up some of the confusion when we say God cannot be known and God can be intimately known. The God that cannot be known is called the Godhead, that which births the Wellspring which births all. The God that is intimately known is called God. In more Whiteheadian terminology, all is one process which reverberates as us -- a "stepping down" of energies producing and maintaining our being. Of course, one may not wish to use God language in the first place if one considers oneself a post-modern realist wishing to avoid such difficulties. But God language is here and is meaningful to many, including myself. I appreciate Eckhart's distinction.
