No matter how, the being closes himself off, and the being of God, and the being of the church are closed beings, while those beings that I endorse are open, meaning fundamentally ineffable beings, beings that can't be described as such, since, in being open, they are hardly beings, they are continuously decompositions; because thought itself fundamentally cannot apprehend them, but is destroyed by them.

Georges Bataille, ‘Discussion on Sin’ in The Unfinished System of Nonknowledge, p. 64.

i found this in the book, for the blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. it fit perfectly with the conversation i had earlier in the day discussing the beauty of accepting not knowing. 

enjoy this lovely thought.
