The adornment of the spiritual marriage. The sparkling stone. The book of supreme truth
Abstract: 'These works are remarkable for their combination of lofty spiritual philosophy and robust common sense. As we read them we feel that we are in touch with a man who never, in his ecstatic ascents to God, loses hold on the actualities of human life. In the "Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage" he traces the gradual development of the soul, through the Active Life of Christian Virtue, the Interior Life of Contemplation, and the Superessential Life of Union with God. "The Book of Truth" and "The Sparkling Stone" deal almost entirely with the highest and most mysterious experiences of the human spirit.'
