Greetings. I live in California, practice and write about apophatic mysticism. I am impressed by the wealth of useful (you yong) information here.

A very hearty welcome indeed, Raymond! I really get a lot out of your apophatic mysticism site, and in another "incarnation" invited you over here.

 

How's the book coming along?

 

Really happy that you've found some time to share your insights here.

 

Best,

Peregrino

Thanks for the warm welcome and generous comments Peregrino, freeform and Sean

 

To Peregrino:

 

I think the book could be ready by next summer. I think I will try to publish it myself so readers can be allowed to copy anything from it they want to. Or all of it.

 

Here are some of the central concepts of apophatic mysticism, as I see it, which I hope to treat in the book:

 

應物而不窮者也

Ying wu er bu qiong zhe ye

Be unrestricted in responding to things. Zhuangzi chapter 14

 

抱神以靜,形將自正。

Bao shen yi jing, xing jiang zi zheng

Gather your mind-body energy into inner stillness and your outer being will regulate itself spontaneously. Zhuangzi chapter 11
