The Dark Night Of The Soul by St. John of the Cross is a spiritual classic that explores the journey of the soul towards union with God. St. John of the Cross was a Spanish mystic and poet who lived in the 16th century and was a member of the Carmelite order. In this book, he describes the process of purgation and purification that the soul must go through in order to reach a state of spiritual enlightenment.The book is divided into two parts, the first of which describes the ""night of sense"" and the second of which describes the ""night of the spirit."" The night of sense refers to the period of darkness and confusion that the soul experiences as it begins to detach itself from the material world and turn towards God. The night of the spirit is a deeper and more intense period of purification, in which the soul is stripped of all its attachments and desires in order to become one with God.Throughout the book, St. John of the Cross emphasizes the importance of detachment, humility, and surrender in the spiritual journey. He also explores the role of suffering and trials in the process of spiritual transformation, arguing that these experiences are necessary in order to purify the soul and prepare it for union with God.Overall, The Dark Night Of The Soul is a profound and challenging work that offers insights into the nature of the spiritual journey and the challenges that must be faced in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. It is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and guide spiritual seekers to this day.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
