Opis

The author's personal account of his struggles and discoveries on the way to mystical experience, first as a young Roman Catholic Seminarian, then as a Monk of the Roman Catholic Order of the Carthusians. The reflections continue to follow the journey from youthful dedication to the religious vocation, through genuine experiences of contemplation. These lead to full ecstatic breakthroughs and sometimes last for days on end. Theological thoughts are interspersed with the spiritual and mystical development that forms the core of these pages. Finally the book treats the nature of Enlightenment, Mystical Union with God and then in a final chapter addresses the issue of Beyond Enlightenment. Thoughts on the "God of my Experience" compete this fascinating journey into the mind beyond.
