The Cloud of Unknowing is a spiritual guidebook written by an anonymous author in the late 14th century. It is a Christian mystical text that advocates for contemplative prayer and the pursuit of a deeper understanding of God through the abandonment of worldly distractions. The author encourages the reader to enter into a state of unknowing, where the mind is emptied of all thoughts and distractions, and to focus solely on the presence of God. The book is divided into 75 chapters, each offering practical advice and guidance on how to achieve this state of contemplation. The author emphasizes the importance of humility, detachment, and love in the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The Cloud of Unknowing has been highly influential in Christian mysticism and has been translated into many languages. It remains a popular text among those seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and a closer relationship with God.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.
