Centering prayer is the path to a wonderful and radical new way of seeing the world. It is not, as is sometimes thought, simply an act of devotional piety, nor is it a Christianized form of other meditation methods. Cynthia Bourgeault here cuts through the misconceptions to show that centering prayer is in fact a pioneering development within the Christian contemplative tradition.

In the end we find ourselves in what the Taoist sage Chuang Tzu called the Palace of Nowhere, where all the many things are one.

Then, drawing from Gospels and the greatest Christian contemplatives, he shows you what it means to be spiritually awake.

Story
On May 8, 1373, 30-year-old Julian of Norwich, sick and near death, had a series of visions of Christ. In these 16 visions she learnt about God's loving nature. God in Julian's visions was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, Man is not to blame for his sin; instead it is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.

Franciscan priest Richard Rohr feels that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the “problem of the self". Most of contemporary spiritual teaching, he believes, is still trying to inspire and fortify the private self, the autonomous "I". Even much church work is trying to evangelize and sacramentalize what many would call "the false self." Basic transformation is not expected, but merely a new set of beliefs and practices or loyal membership in a new group.

Publisher's Summary
This anonymous fourteenth-century text is the glory of English mysticism, and one of the most practical and useful guides to finding union with God ever written. Carmen Acevedo Butcher’s new translation is the first to bring the text into a modern English idiom - while remaining strictly faithful to the meaning of the original Middle English. The Cloud of Unknowing consists of a series of letters written by a monk to his student or disciple, instructing him (or her) in the way of Divine union. Its theology is presented in a way that is remarkably easy to understand, as well as practical, providing advice on prayer and contemplation that anyone can use. Previous translations of the Cloud have tended to veil its intimate, even friendly tone under medieval-sounding language. Carmen Butcher has boldly brought the text into language as appealing to modern ears as it was to its original readers more than five hundred years ago.Also included in the volume is the companion work attributed to the same anonymous author, The Book of Privy Counsel, which contains further advice for approaching God in a way that emphasizes real experience rather than human knowledge.

Contemplation -> transformation
This classic work on Christian contemplation has influenced my life profoundly for the good in the years since I first encountered it. (Its ideas undergird the practice of Centering Prayer.) This translation by Carmen is _by far_ the most accessible IMO. I've read and listened to it multiple times. I think provides valuable illumination for contemplatives on all paths.

Definitely worth listening to again and again
Butcher's modern translation and Cronin's reading make this a pleasure. I'm sure the original author would be shocked to learn that contemplation is now considered a pagan practice of far eastern religions instead of a traditional way for Christians to press deeper into their life in God. His emphasis on the work of grace in contemplation, one end result being holiness and love, and grounding contemplation in scriptural truth should appeal to Christians of all denominations. I also found the approach of waiting in quietness on God as a kind of prayer to be refreshing. In our age of social media it's a relief to be quiet, to not be constantly chattering, to not be giving God a laundry list of requests or a series of instructions posed as prayers.

Classic
I can’t speak specifically to this translation apparently done in 2009 since I don’t remember reading the earlier translation, but it feels contemporary - if at times a bit repetitive. It is of course based on the famous spiritual classic from the 14th Century. Essentially The Cloud of Unknowing is contemplative prayer - simply being in God’s presence. It’s the similar to Centering Prayer, which became well known beginning in the late 1960s in Trappist Monasteries then gradually spread and has had a powerful impact on the church. The narration is quite good. Highly recommended.

Beaufitul
Would you consider the audio edition of The Cloud of Unknowing: With the Book of Privy Counsel to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the book, but I tried reading the original and it was too sticky for me, and couldn't get my head around the old English language, however, this version is fantastic, and loved every word that I listened to.
Who was your favorite character and why?
God - because he is the centre of everything! :)
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Describing the Cloud of Forgetting and how to use it to literally forget everything during contemplation...
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nope - it was poetry all the way through.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend this to anyone just starting to try contemplation.
Personal Takeaways:
Anyone can try contemplation - it is not reserved for monks
Focus on the cloud of unknowing - it looks dark and gloomy but that is where to be
Get comfortable in the cloud
Resist all thoughts about things and people and focus on one syllable words, Sin, God, Love, etc to bring the focus back on the subject
Don't overdo repeating the word you choose
Don't analyse why you chose that word, and it's origin
Play a game with God - don't show God how much you really want him, and he will come to you
don't be a greedy greyhound, chasing after God more and more and more, He will come
Don't lunge for God
Spending time in the Cloud of Unkowing will help towards increasing in virtue as a by product

It is not often I review a work with text, the stars say it all, but here in this listen I am transported into a new place where you can rest in Truth and grace of the inner life of Divinity as Christ must have done meditating on the mountain - transforming his complete being for his works to be.
Powerful points and structure for your life of prayer. It is a serious listen, listen without judgment, enable the beauty of these voiced words awaken the innermost desires to seek and know God for yourself.

Absolute classic of western spirituality
Listened to this on retreat. Really got into it. It is a 14th century classic and stands in the Tradition of true Christian Mysticism from the earliest days of the desert fathers and has influenced so many saints. Brilliant. Learn here how to simply be in the presence of God beyond the chatter of ideas, flood of emotions, distractions. Gloriously and peacefully alone with God. The finest medicine true and ancient Christianity can offer you. Good narrator: young and fervent, not distracting.

Absolutely minblowing (literally)
Having read many "spiritual books", this book I can defintiely say is the best book I have ever read that is a practical approach to that place within us all that can not be described through words. I have found most books contain methods focused on some form of practise that humbly said for me, falls under the bracket of "concentration". So still using the mind as such. Having tried many different forms of meditation in which all served there purpose at that specific moment in time, I have to say that my journey through grace in a spiritual sense has been more about a process of elimination and less about learning something. The less we know the better. What a wonderful book filled with not intellect but truth. It's hard to speak of what this book offers and where it points to as its quite simply indescribable. But as the author puts it so beutifully, "it's ironic that the topic I most want to discuss mostly leaves me speechless".
A beutiful book, and defintiely suggested for anyone who is willing to surrender there will through God's grace.
Just beutiful 🙏
