Book Description
Excerpt from Ruysbroeck and the Mystics; With Selections From Ruysbroeck Not proceed far in reading it. They will think they are entering the void; they will feel as if they were falling steadily into a bottomless abyss, between black and slip pery rocks. In this book there is no com mon light or air; as a spiritual abode it will be insupportable to those who come unprepared. DO not enter here from literary curiosity; there are hardly any dainty nick nacks, and the botanist in search Of fine images will find as few flowers here as on the polar ice-banks. I tell them that this is a boundless desert, where they will die of thirst. They will find here very few phrases which one may handle and admire after the way of literary critics; nothing but jets of flame or blocks of ice. Do not seek for roses in Ice land. Some flower may still linger between two icebergs - and indeed there are strange. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, finally, back in print. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: At the moment in which he finished saying his first Mass, this vision returned to him; and he saw his mother 's spirit, delivered from Purgatory by the power of the sacrifice which he had offered, entering into Heaven an experience originating in, and giving sharp dramatic expression to, that sense of new and sacred powers now conferred on him, which may well at such a moment have flooded the consciousness of the young priest. ...It was not the solitude of the forest, but the normal, active existence of a cathedral chaplain in a busy capital city which controlled his development during that long period, stretching from the very beginnings of manhood to [16] the end of middle age; and it was in fact during these years, and in the midst of incessant distractions, that he passed through the great oscillations of consciousness which mark the mystic way. ...He was approaching those heights of experience from which his greatest mystical works proceed; and it was in obedience to a true instinct that he went away to the silent places of the forest as Anthony to the solitude of the desert, Francis to the holy mountain of La Verna that, undistracted by the many whom he had served so faithfully, he might open his whole consciousness to the inflow of the One, and receive in its perfection the message which it was his duty to transmit to the world, He went, says [22] Pomerius, not that he might hide his light; but that he might tend it better and make it shine more brightly. ...Nevertheless it seems safe to say that the bulk of his works, as we now possess them, represent him as he was during the last thirty years of his life, rather than during his earlier and more active career; and that the intense certitude, the wide deep vision of the Infinite which distinguishes them, are the fruits of those long hours of profound absorption in God for which his new life found place. ...Two witnesses have preserved Ruysbroeck 's solemn affirmation, given first to his disciple Gerard Groot in great gentleness and humility, and repeated again upon his death-bed in the presence of the whole community, that every word of his writings was thus composed under the immediate domination of an inspiring power; that secondary personality of a superior type, in touch with levels of reality beyond the span of the surface consciousness, which governs the activities of the great mystics in their last phases of development.

Book Description
"[...] Here is the distinction, always needed and constantly ignored, between that veritable fruition of Eternal Life which results from the interaction of will and grace, and demands of the soul the highest intensity and most active love, and that colourable imitation of it which is produced by a psychic trick, and is independent alike of the human effort and the divine gift. Ruysbroeck in fighting the 'Free Spirit' was fighting the battle of true mysticism against its most dangerous and persistent enemy, -mysticality. His attack upon Bloemardinne is the one outstanding incident in the long Brussels period which has been preserved to us. The next great outward movement in his steadily evolving life did not happen until the year 1343, [...]."
