In these conferences dating to 1961, Thomas Merton provides for his audience of young monks an overview of major themes and figures in the Christian mystical tradition as an integral part of their religious inheritance and a crucial part of their spiritual formation. From Fathers of the Church such as St Athanasius and St Gregory of Nyssa, through such important medieval theologians as St Bonaventure, Hadewijch and Meister Eckhart, to the great Spanish Carmelites St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross, Merton traces such key topics as the integration of theology and spirituality; the importance of "natural contemplation"--recognizing the divine presence in creation; the centrality of apophatic or "dark" contemplation; and the role of spiritual direction in forming mature and balanced contemplatives.

When she travelled to Abadiânia to meetthe famous medium Joao de Deus, she encountered the entity of King Solomon, who spoke to her about his last earthly incarnation. This encounter wasso intense that Sylvia decided to do justice to this powerful and commandingentity in a separate book.In this book, we learn that the soul that was once "King Solomon" had itselfbeen in contact with spiritual entities that taught him the secrets of the cosmiclaw.In his exalted position of king, Solomon was able to use his wisdom forthe benefit of his people. In time, he became an icon of knowledge, wisdom, and grace.Hence, these messages to Sylvia Leifheit are full of wisdom, yet clear andaccessible. They show us that the entity "King Solomon" was once an incarnatedhuman being, albeit exceptionally connected with the spiritual realmduring his lifetime.These teachings are the eternal echo of a wise soul and at the same time, a"practical" initiation into the knowledge of a king who did not chose to livein pomp and arrogance but rather, like a priest, in wisdom and humility.Solomon's teachings are full of depth, knowledge, love and respect, leadingus gently to the realisation that we should all learn to "become human, butremember our soul".
