Hence the inscrutable God is called silent by the divine ones, and is said to consent with Mind, and to be known to human souls through the power of the Mind alone.

— In our words · Source: The Chaldean Oracles (attributed to Zoroaster (Westcott / Sapere Aude))

[Use when]

Use when theology needs a reason that silence is not emptiness.

[Why it matters]

Silence + Mind: the path to the inscrutable is not chatter and not sense — nous only.
