Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation. - John of the Cross

The method of some directors is sufficient to encumber souls receiving these visions, or even to lead them astray. They do not guide them along the paths of humility, and they give them a free hand in this matter, which causes a want of the true spirit of faith. Neither do these directors ground their disciples in faith, for they frequently make these visions a topic of conversation. Consequently, the individuals get the idea that their directors are setting store by their visions, and as a result they do the same and stay attached to them,

Nisu stvari ovog svjeta te koje gospodare dušom i uništavaju je,jer one u nju ne ulaze,nego želja i čežnja za njima koje u njoj prebivaju.

There He taught me the science full of sweetness. And there I gave to Him Myself without reserve; There I promised to be His bride. ~ 27
