Book Two: Night of the Spirit│Chapter 5
“The dark night of the spirit is an inflowing of God into the soul.”
“This is where God transmits his secret teachings to the soul.”
Secret teachings are those beyond knowing and understanding, beyond reasoning and thinking and clear ideas
“When God sends forth from himself the illuminating ray of secret wisdom to the soul not yet full transformed, her mind is enveloped by darkness. Thus the Dark Night.
