“My Sweet Lord”

~ George Harrison

“We shall find we are dealing with something for which there is only one appropriate expression, ‘mysterium tremendum.’ The feeling of it may at times come sweeping like a gentle tide, pervading the mind with a tranquil mood of deepest worship. It may pass over into a more set and lasting attitude of the soul, continuing, as it were, thrillingly vibrant and resonant, until at last it dies away and the soul resumes its ‘profane,’ non-religious mood of everyday experience. It may burst in sudden eruption from the depths of the soul with spasms and convulsions, or lead to the strangest excitements, to intoxicated frenzy, to transport, and to ecstasy… It may become the hushed, trembling, and speechless humility of the creature in the presence of – whom are what? In the presence of that which is a mystery inexpressible above all creatures.”
