>An anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide on contemplative prayer. The underlying message of this work suggests that the way to know God is to abandon consideration of God's particular activities and attributes, and be courageous enough to surrender one's mind and ego to the realm of "unknowing", at which point one may begin to glimpse the nature of God.Thoughts?

Anonymous:>The author encourages the reader to cast aside all distractions and negative thoughts, and instead focus on a constant, loving gaze at the divine, represented by a cloud of unknowing that separates the soul from direct knowledge of God.Kinda based. I'll look into it later.
However just from a first glance, it already seems like it's just one of the many Gnostic forgeries floating around at the time of the Middle Ages. Which has nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity and Holy Tradition.
But I'll bite.
