Список книг автора John of the CrossAscent of Mount Carmel
This book is a 16th-century treatise to the poem The Dark Night of The Soul by the Spanish writer John of the Cross. It gives a commentary on the poem and practical advice on the ascetical life, the final aim which is the union with God. Part of the advice is based on the author's experience of the spiritual search. Together with the poem and the other treatise The Dark Night, this work belongs to the most important writings of the Spanish spiritual mysticism.
The Dark Night of the Soul
This book tells about the mystical journey of the soul toward the union with God. This journey is made in darkness since we don't know anything of God, the Light, at the end of the trip. The journey comprises two critical phases of purgation: the purgation of senses and the purgation of spirit. These two phases make the first part of the spiritual journey. After the purgation, there comes illumination and then union.
