"But it was for I would have lived to have loved God better and longer time, that I might by the grace of that living have the more knowing and loving of God in the bless of heaven."
Can you tell me what this quote from Julian of Norwich, "The book of Showings" mean please?
I think it mean she use her power to acknowledge God and mediate a radical vision of God's love on her death bed.

If you mean "meditate," I agree with you for the most part. I'm not sure what you mean by "radical," though.
Yes I meant meditate, well i didn't really understand what i was trying to say that's why i ask for some help explaining it better or in another way
What i mean by radical i guess major
What do you imagine when you refer to a "radical vision" or a "major" vision?
In addition, one of the articles in here might be able to tell you more:

It is difficult to interpret what a mystic means; you might in fact explore what mystic means.
Julian seemed to in most writings explore the idea that as we lived through and suffered with sin, we become closer to God, and understand him more. Remember, these were the times of great sufferings (the Plague).
But in the end, mystics have never registered in my consequential, sequential engineering mind as making much coherent sense in a world full of disorder and chaos.
