 Difficult To Read August 15, 2008
This book was very difficult to read because it doesn't use contemporary colloquial English.
According to critics and scholars, E. Allison Peers did an outstanding job translating this work. Without a doubt: it is so (I assume.)
According to me, I need a translator to translate this translation into a work that I can understand easily.
I blame my lack of education for my troubles reading and understanding this book, of course.
However, to those people out there with just a basic education, like me, be warned: reading this book will be an arduous effort. A very difficult effort indeed.
I've found a more accessible translation online:

Other than that, it is a remarkable and inspiring work.
I believe this book could be understood better if previously one had read the works of Bernadette Roberts.
In fact, I think that reading only the first outlined title would suffice.
What is Self?: A Study of the Spiritual Journey in Terms of Consciousness,
The Path to No-Self: Life at the Center
The Experience of No-Self: A Contemplative Journey
 Tough read August 4, 2008
I had a really hard time with the subject matter. One better have a very strong constitution to read this....

This is by far one of the very best spiritual guides for anyone who is going through a trial that seems almost unbearably difficult to work through. It is a timeless classic that offers comfort, hope and a sense that this darkness can lead to transformation.

Dark Night of the Soul is a deep book, discussing a familiar struggle of seekers of Jesus Christ our Lord and savior. King David spoke of these lonely times for ones soul,when he felt seperated from Gods love.
