I've just started really reading into them, both works of St John, and
also St Teresa. I've begun, and LOVE her 'Internal Castle', also have
gotten a copy of her autobiography, but haven't begun reading that yet.
Also have picked up some on the 'cloud of unknowing', by an unknowm 14th
century mystic. In all these writers, I feel I'm reading the thouughts
of my true brethren! I have already felt most at home among Christian
mystics, have joined a church and a Brotherhood order of Chistian
mystics. They were the only ones I could find when all this really
started with me that actually understood everything I told them was
happening to me! The 'knew' me as 'one of them', so to speak, and I
don't mean that in the us vs them sense, but one of brotherhood,
kinship, the first time I went to them for help. I was some time later
told that the day i came, several there had 'felt' my light energy a
good half hour before I arrived, several 'visuals' had seen the aura of
light around me as soon as they looked out the door and saw me arriving.
