Published 2023-05-17
The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism, most likely a Carthusian monk, written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer in the Late Middle Ages. The underlying message of this work suggests that the way to know God is to abandon consideration of God's particular activities and attributes, and be courageous enough to surrender one's mind and ego to the realm of "unknowing", at which point one may begin to glimpse the nature of God.
The Cloud of Unknowing draws on the mystical tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Christian Neoplatonism, which focuses on the via negativa road to discovering God as a pure entity, beyond any capacity of mental conception and so without any definitive image or form.

Iโm 71 years of age and Iโve been walking a spiritual path since the age of 25. With the health problems Iโve had I donโt think Iโll live to a ripe old age so, I asked my Higher Power to immerse me. I want to leave here immersed in God. That is when I came across Samaneri Jayasaraโs videos. My prayers have been answered. To listen to these is immersion into your God Self. This is the closest Iโve been to God and I feel Iโve been given a gift. Thank you. I am forever grateful. Love to all.

When some people may have healing hands, Others can have healing eyes, you definitely have a healing voice.โค๏ธ

YOU ARE SUCH A GIFT TO THIS WORLD! I spend EVERY DAY with you, Thank you so very much for your heartfelt work and beautiful voiceโค

I remember reading this small book almost 60 years back without a clue what was being said.....now I'm melting in the words....so my inner work wasn't pointless after all.

โWhen we reach the end of what we know... thatโs when we find God... peaceโ. How many of us โknow soooo much crap? Itโs unending, we are so clever, needing to know, clinging to knowledge that we havenโt earned. This world and all the brainwashing of society, the trappings of achieve this so you can get that and then youโll be happy... only the ego benefits, while your soul weeps as it continues to wait patiently for you to awaken. As the Zen proverb goes, โYou are like this cup โ so full of ideas that nothing more will fit in. Come back to me with an empty cup.โ๐๐ผ๐

I read this many years ago. I realize lately that Iโve read hundreds of the very greatest mystical literature.

HONEST, I was reading this yesterday and thoughtโman I wish she would just do a video on it. And BOOM provided. Peace unto you forever.

DEARโคSister, Yet again you've unearthed God's heavenly timeless treasures. How totally BLESSED we are by your tireless loving efforts. We're like baby chicks happily following and eagerly pecking up the divine crumbs our Blessed Mother Hen keeps dropping..... ever leading us right into the heart of God. T โค๏ธ Y!! ๐๏ธ

Absolutely stunning.๐ I had a spontaneous awakening experience almost 2 years ago and the internet and places like this๐๐ฝโ๏ธ helped me and continue to help as it deepens and I lovingly say goodbye to who I thought I was. The beauty and mystery of reality brings tears to my recently clear vision almost daily. I never dreamed humanity already IS what we all long for so desperately.

I am wholeheartedly happy, Nothing & nowhere.

Another day and another blessing to have you in my life oh blessed jayasara. You have enriched my life more than I can communicate to you, please know that.

Thank you for your channel. It is a beautiful contribution to the world, and listening to your voice on a daily basis helps me to cultivate wisdom and faith in my life. Thank you.

A short word that has always spoken to me is "yes".

"Forget the world". I have been pondering this direction that was given here.
