The Cloud of Unknowing | Anonymous

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide to contemplative prayer. "Be willing to be blind, and give up all longing to know the why and how, for knowing will be more of a hindrance than a help." This 1912 edition was edited by Evelyn Underhill, and contains her introduction.

This was good as a #audiobook; excellent narration. I enjoyed it as a series of meditations. The language is dated-Old English-y. But I enjoyed that aspect of it and it made me listen closely to understand. This writing must have been quite a departure from other religious texts of its time. Definitely spiritual but not in the way I think of Christian teachings from that era. Enjoyed this and I will revisit in the future.
