The Cloud Of Unknowing

Name: The Cloud Of Unknowing
Uploaded: 2021-08-26T12:06:57.000Z
Duration: 19 min 45 s
Channel: Methods of Contemplation
Description: It's frequently said that the method of centering prayer is based on the text of the Cloud, but to me, they express very differently. While centering prayer typically emphasizes the kenotic letting go or emptying, the Cloud retains the crucial element of loving devotion, or what the Bhakti path in Yoga calls Bhāva.
