Excerpt from A Book of Contemplation the Which Is Called the Cloud of Unknowing, in the Which a Soul Is Oned With God: Edited From the British Museum Ms. Harl. 674, With an Introduction
The little family of mystical treatises which is known to students as the Cloud of Unknowing group, deserves more attention than it has hitherto received from English lovers of mysti cism f or it represents the first expres sion in our own tongue of that great mystic tradition of the Christian Neo platonists which gathered up, remade, and salted with Christ's salt all that was best in the spiritual wisdom of the ancient world.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a profound guide to the mystical life, providing a practical path to spiritual experience and communion with God at a time when English spirituality was at its peak. The author, a contemplative mystic, presents a distinctively new element in mediaeval religious literature by urging the reader to pursue God not through external practices but through the intense, loving activity of the will. This exclusive focus on the inner life was radical for the time and has left a lasting legacy on the development of mystical thought.
