When souls meet each other, what truth can they exchange? It is uttered in silence, yet always surely reaches its goal.

When souls meet, there can be no speech, for the presence of speech means that it is minds that are meeting. But the essence of all souls is one, and therefore the meeting of souls is the union of souls, which cannot be comprehended or explained. It is a process, whereupon plurality becomes unity, wherein there are neither distinctions nor differences, no "I-ness" and "thou-ness," and in general the overcoming of all conditions which make for plurality. When souls meet, there are no souls: there is God and God alone.
