The Cloud of Unknowing is a medieval spiritual guidebook written anonymously in Middle English during the late 14th century. The book is a practical guide to contemplative prayer, aimed at helping the reader to achieve a deeper understanding of God through a process of mystical contemplation. The author, who remains unknown, instructs the reader to let go of their thoughts and emotions, and to focus their mind on a cloud of unknowing that represents the divine presence. The book is divided into 75 chapters, each offering advice on how to overcome obstacles to contemplation and how to deepen one's relationship with God. The Cloud of Unknowing is considered a classic of Christian mysticism and has influenced many spiritual traditions throughout the centuries.And therefore take good heed unto time, how that thou dispendest it: for nothing is more precious than time. In one little time, as little as it is, may heaven be won and lost. A token it is that time is precious: for God, that is given of time, giveth never two times together, but each one after other. And this He doth, for He will not reverse the order or the ordinal course in the cause of His creation. For time is made for man, and not man for time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
