The Clouding of Unknowing is not about a boundary beyond which we cannot see, but about how to approach knowledge beyond other forms of mental conceptualization.

A perfect example of a gobbledygook sentence which ends up either saying the same thing it pretends to contradict, or saying nothing at all.

The unknown 14th century author of the Cloud of Unknowing is smiling somewhere, I'm sure.

thanks for your reply.

Perhaps I misunderstood your use of "beyond which we cannot see."

Did you mean "see" literally or beyond which we cannot "know"?
