Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross are the most essential mystics of the Catholic Church, but you should also check out Thomas Kempen and The Cloud of Unknowing.

>The Cloud of Unknowing.
Isn't this only to be read once you're capable of contemplation?

Philokalia but half of it is about not letting demons control you

Also Wisdom of The Desert Fathers is essential

There's a reason why people like other spiritual writings more. Aside from the spiritual side, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross were masters of language, in comparison it's almost always crude.

I'm actually enjoying at the moment, I'm currently at St. Neilos' ascetic discourse and he is btfo spiritually false monks and philosophers

>>9963050
