Reading The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila | Alexandria
Read The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by St. Teresa of Avila. Challenging mysticism's solemn reputation, Teresa of Avila's radical philosophy reveals ecstasy as a path to reason, not its opposite. Her insight that divine union heightens, rather than diminishes, self-awareness offers a bold counter to modern assumptions about spirituality and consciousness. Her work bridges medieval devotion and contemporary neuroscience.
