"...according to the unanimous testimony of the great Christian mystics, even on this highest level of the mystical experience, in the "mystical union," the human soul retains its substantial independence: what takes place is not a union of human and Divine substances or natures, but a union of wills or a union of love. In this state the bodily senses re-enter into their rightful natural functions, and the union thus continues amidst the ordinary tasks and activities of daily life. In this highest mystical state there occurs finally also the fusion of understanding and love, or intellect and will, which are one in God." - Kurt F. Reinhardt, Stanford University, from his introduction to St. John of the Cross' The Dark Night of the Soul
