To understand better the nature of the vision of God I would recommend reading St. Gregory of Nyssa's treatise: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Gregory-Nyssa-Classics-Western-Spirituality/dp/0809121123"][u]The Life of Moses[/u][/url].

[quote name='Raphael' post='1639411' date='Aug 27 2008, 08:58 PM']St. John relates seeing God to being like God (1 John 3:2). As we come to know Him, we can choose to love Him, which is ultimately played out through a life of virtue, because if we love Him, we will keep His commandments.[/quote]

Recently when reading something written by CS Lewis, and it now seems to me that what you have written above is closely related to the central concept in CS Lewis' [i]Till We Have Faces[/i] . Am I right?
