Chambers of the soul: Teresa of Avila
Spanish mystical author Teresa of Avila famously envisioned the soul as a castle with seven inner "dwellings." In her book, The Interior Castle, she leads the reader through each of these dwellings and finally to the castle's innermost chamber, where we might apprehend a vision of God in God's oneness and enter into divine union. Here we survey these stages of the spiritual journey as described by Teresa.

Saint Teresa of all came to me two years ago during my spiritual awakening while I was learning about the dark Knight of the soul, and I started seeing a lot of similarities in our lives from being self loathing in the beginning in the different stages of the soul journeys as I’ve been fascinated with it during my awakening. I saw the similarities. I was actually married a subdivision in Tampa in my in-laws mansion and a subdivision named Avila.. I was born in 66. 1515 Reduces to 66. Revelations the 66th book in the Bible, numbers the 4th my birthday 2/4 another 6 which mean harmony and balance himself between the spiritual and physical as well as unconditional love. I even had a transverberation of the heart, although I did not see an angel, just light in 2022z Nada is the emptiness, the quantum, the way is see it. I am not Catholic. I was raised in the church of Christ and Southern Baptist. I knew nothing of these things yet. She is so influential to me and my life as I write my book and I just had to share this with you, she was quite a marvelous woman that I can’t help with feet. is guiding me as I become a author & motivational speaker about spiritual awakening and the dark night of the soul. Which like her, I’ve had 2. The 1st spanned 20 yrs, the second, 2. Thanks for sharing her so eloquently as like her, I am a mystic!!!🙏❤️🥰💕😇
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The 7 chambers is akin to the 7 chakras that yoga philosophy puts forward. Each chajra representing a growth from the gross body to the subtle and finally the 7th where union takes place

I second that it is not related at all, Catholic Mysticism is not compatable with any other for of spirituality

@@Fortitude333 i think you will find the phenomenology and mechanics of all contemplative “paths” are essentially the same. Its the metaphysics that differ
