Excerpt from The Divine Cloud: With Notes and Preface
To vocal prayers, in these days, is added set meditation, or prayer of discourse, which is effected by sensible representa tions of good and holy things brought before the mind, with acts of the will arising from them. Sometimes these sensible images come by our own raising and voluntary procurement; sometimes as it were of themselves; out of the fund of our own acquired good habits of thought; sometimes immediately from God or His holy Angels.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a mystical approach to understanding the nature of God and how one can seek to grow closer to the divine. The author believes all people are called by God and that one of the highest callings is to live a life dedicated to the pursuit of communion with Him. The author's goal is to guide readers towards this path through a series of instructions on how to engage in meditative practices that move beyond intellectual understanding and towards a direct experience of God. This book is not interested in presenting a historical context for its subject nor does it present any new research; instead, it draws on medieval understandings of Christian contemplative practice and locates itself within the broader tradition of Christian mysticism. The author's insights are relevant for anyone looking to cultivate a closer connection to the divine and deepen their spiritual understanding.
