It kinda follows the idea that a knowable (in an intellectual sense) God is much easier to believe in that a mysterious God. I believe this is where the eastern church has a significant salvo to throw into the western theological arena.

For myself, I am trying to unprogram myself a bit to allow for the mysterious, or as your post puts it, a sapiential truth to inform me in my experience or “abiding” in Him.

Does this resonate?
