Apophatic theology was one of my early drawing-in points to
   Orthodoxy back-in-the-day. It was the most ... logical (I guess)
   to me that one could best describe the indescribable by using
   "not" instead of "is".

   After all, once you have a term like uncircumscribed... and THEN
   you try to circumscribe... well....

   and yes of course by even using a term like uncircumscribed *is
   circumscribing* by it being a concept... but even in the church
   fathers, they repeatedly (that I remember) remind the reader
   that, they're using the terminology as a lesser form of language
   as it were.... pointers to unknowable knowledge but not the
   knowlege itself, which is experiential in nature etc.
