Critic reviews

"Using St. Teresa of Ávila's metaphor of the 'interior castle' as a template, Myss challenges readers to get in touch with their own souls and shows how they can then lead deeper, more joyous lives. Every chapter is packed with meditations that help to either clean out the detritus that prevents spiritual growth or prepare for a mystical meeting with God. Interspersed are supportive stories of those who have gone before on the path....the material clearly springs from a deeply personal place and every page rings with the passion and intensity of someone who has finally found what she was seeking." (Publishers Weekly)

Mystics must-read

This book is a must read for all Aspiring Mystics of our time. Caroline has 'translated' Theresa's work into our crazy complex time with such clarity, Grace and compassion. Thank you Caroline Myssm.

Extraordinary

couldn't put it down, the best book I've read that's made a huge impact for me in a positive way, thank you for sharing

So angry!

The content was great but felt as though she was scolding the listener. Lighten up Caroline! You’re so above that!

Thought provoking

Caroline is a firecracker, passionate, extremely intelligent, and really makes you think about your own journey. I listened to this twice in a row and will likely have a third round because there is a lot to take in and consider. I think it’s important to know, you may not agree with every perspective, however, you are certain to be better off having listened to this. I enjoy listening to her.

Next stop…Interior Castle

I didn’t really care for the first book of Caroline’s that I purchased, but to be fair, I hadn’t made it through the first two or so chapters before deciding as much. This one I actually mistook for Theresa of Avila’s book, Interior Castle, but I’m so glad that I did. I have studied a number of the saints and mystics that Caroline refers to in this book and I am so intrigued now with Theresa of Avila that I cannot wait to begin her book. I find modern spirituality distasteful for a number of reasons, chiefly due to spiritual materialism. Caroline offers the path of the modern mystic, or I think she calls it “mystics outside monasteries.” This is a great guide for keeping your intention and humility in check, while offering some beautiful prayers and guidance. I meditate in addition to the contemplative lifestyle and while I wasn’t totally enthralled with some of the guided visualizations, I could see them being beautifully helpful to those seeking to get started and look for good guidance that won’t take you too far off into the “astral circus”. I just didn’t find the practices terribly necessary for myself at this juncture. Not to say I won’t in the future. But, as far as the rest of the information in this book about the path and walking the straight and narrow, she does a lovely and very clearly defined job of taking you by the hand and leading the way. I can’t wait to discover Theresa’s work now. I’m captivated at this point. I am thoroughly chuffed to have accidentally purchased this one.

Perhaps one of the best descriptions of the interior journey

This book provides an excellent framework for one to reach their soul. This is a must read for those engaged in the interior journey!

Mysticism in the modern world

This is probably one of the best writing on mysticism. Reinterpreted in the light of modern world, when we feel nostalgic for what the hermits had and envy their oath. Today. As Caroline shows the monastery is the workplace we go to, the fasting is holding back judgement, self flogging is loving others when we feel we are harmed. May God grant us courage and guidance to see the path in the modern world, the strength to carry through and be resilient. Amen!

Love her tough style!

For me this is profound, funny, and so powerful. She has a no nonsense style and practical guidance for those interested in mysticism that is not fluffy or new agey.

Life changing

This book is for the serious student. The teachings of Theresa of Avala are a serious journey into and with the soul. This is a book that will become a life-long manual that I will be referring to over and over again.
