Hugh of St. Victor

I had to read this one a couple time before i really picked anything up. but i believe that i did get something out of it.  "In spiritual matters, when something is regarded as the highest, this doesn't mean that it is located above the heavens, but rather that it is the inmost or the most intimate at all." then it goes on to say that to ascend to god is to  enter oneself, and not only to go deeper and deeper and pass beyond oneself. I like to picture this as the way in which we ascend to god as well. It is not some magical thing in which we are taking to heaven but really just are at peace with ourselves, inside and outside our bodies mentally and physically.
