    In your list of books, you did not include John of the Cross’s Ascent of Mount Carmel. While he spends much time reconciling traditional theology with mystical theology and experience, his explication of the psychology of mystical experience is insightful and, for me, quite helpful.

    • Look under “Writings of the Mystics: the Spanish Mystics” on the Books of Unknowing page. All four of John of the Cross’s major works are included.
