Description: Written by an unknown mystic of the fourteenth century, The Cloud of Unknowing expresses with beauty a message that has inspired such great religious thinkers as St John of the Cross and De Chardin. Offering a practical guide to the life of contemplation, the author explains that ordinary thoughts and earthly concepts must be buried beneath a "cloud of forgetting" while our love must rise toward a God hidden in the "cloud of unknowing."

Also included here is the author's other principal work, The Book of Privy Counseling - a short and moving text on the way to enlightenment through a total loss of self and consciousness only of the divine.
