Soul and the Secrets of Its Evolution. Dark Night

«Dark Night» – this is the pinnacle of mystical thought in Western Christianity and the central work of Saint John of the Cross (1542—1591). The book is a profound theological and psychological commentary on his own mystical poem of the same name, which consists of eight stanzas.

At the heart of the work lies the metaphor of «night» as a necessary path for the purification of the soul, striving for complete union with God. John of the Cross describes this path not as a time of despair or abandonment by God, but as a period of intense work of Divine grace, which unobtrusively leads the soul to the light of perfect love. 

This book can serve as a guide for all people on the spiritual path, helping to overcome inner turmoil and life’s difficulties, as well as to attain peace, harmony, and grace.
