Mechthild of Magdeburg, also Mechtild NULL
German Beguine Medieval Mystic, Author of "The Flowing LIght of Divinity"
"Wouldst thou know my meaning? Lie down in the Fire. See and taste the flowing Godhead through thy being; feel the Holy Spirit moving and compelling thee within the Flowing Fire and Light of God."
"You have written me in the book of your Godhead, You have fashioned me in Your own image."
"Yea! I shall drink from Thee and Thou shalt drink from me all the good God has preserved in us. Blessed is he who is so firmly established here that he may never spill out what God has poured into him."
