About this listen

The Cloud of Unknowing is a profound and anonymous work of Christian mysticism penned in Middle English during the latter half of the 14th century. This spiritual guide offers insight into the art of contemplative prayer, encouraging seekers to connect with God not through intellectual reasoning, but through deep, heartfelt contemplation. The text advises a young student to embrace a transformative journey, where thoughts and desires are enveloped in a cloud of forgetting. Through this practice, one can pierce the divine cloud of unknowing with a passionate dart of longing love, fostering a genuine spiritual union with God. This approach transcends mere intellect, inviting readers into a more intimate relationship with the divine. (Summary by Wikipedia)
