A Heretic Exhonorated
By Stephen Charest
Molinos’s Spiritual Guide may be the first Western discussion of the technique known in Hindu teachings as “Raja Yoga.” For teaching that to know God, one must empty one’s mind, quieting all other thoughts, and God will fill your mind and soul. This approached Gnosticism and thus caused Molinos to be branded a heretic.This edition of Molinos is the first print edition to appear in years. It’s a reprint of a 1688 translation of the original Italian; thus the language seems rather King James-like, although by no means inaccessible.Gerald del Campo’s introduction shows the high level of scholarship expected by this serious scholar of Scientific Illuminism. My only (slight) regret is that there is no modern translation of the work. Perhaps with the publication of this volume, other scholars will be inspired to do so.This is an indispensible addition to the library of any student of mysticism, esoterics, or gnosticism.

Update – GREAT Book
By lumberjack
I am unsure how this book could be taken as substance other than a deeper Christian walk with Jesus Messiah.As Molinos puts it, “One of the healthiest things you can do in order to learn to walk in the inward way (and to lose yourself) is to look up on reason and “sound logic” as something that is created. The most reasonable conduct you can perform is to discard a great deal of your reasoning. Believe God.”And, further, “You will know that you are far from perfection if you do not find everything in God. Know that pure, perfect love consists of these elements: the Cross and denial of yourself. These elements are totally voluntary…There is a great difference between doing and of suffering and dying. Doing is delightful. It belongs to beginners in Christ. Suffering belongs to those who are seeking. Dying – dying to the self – belongs to those who are being completed in Christ.”The is lots to quote from this book, for sure.Lastly, after ‘searching inside this book’, there appear to be updated versions available. I currently own a version from the SeedSowers Christian Books Publishing House, Volume 5 of the Library of Spiritual Classics. I would recommend purchasing the book found here on amazon – it’s been cleaned up a bit The Spiritual Guide (Library of Spiritual Classics)*Update 04/21/13Wow, it’s amazing what a few years can do This is still a great book; sometimes I will still recall to mind Biblical principles he mentions. If you read it considering the era in which it was written – meaning, a very, deeply ‘religious’ society attempting to keep Christians living in the Old Testament law (aka the religious spirit), it really is a profound book!Is it the complete message of the Gospel? Of how Jesus saves initially…and then brings a believer in to fruitfulness and out of all bondage? Probably not (although it has now been a few years since I read it).However, he is spot on when he talks of the ‘fires of obedience’; hey, if you want to grow and bear fruit in the Kingdom…obey God (and when you read something that you don’t understand, ask Him to make it clear). Obedience – not striving or doing things to earn or be better than others – just obeying – will truly cause some fire (both of things to purge from yourself but also of zeal and fire for the Lord!)Hope that helps! It’s worth a read

Original Text From Molinos Most Excellent, Introduction is a Horrible Twist
By J. Timbor
If you are a follower of Christ seeking to buy this reprinted work of Micheal De Molinos book please do yourself a favor and get a book without an introduction written by Gerald del Campo. While the text of Molinos is absolutely priceless benificial tool for a much deeper walk with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in a real experiential way… the introduction compares and even recommends some of the works of Aliester Crowley who was an outright satanist dubbed “The Beast”. How the writer of the intro could even put a satanist’s work in comparison with Michael de Molinos is absolutely beyond me. If you are Christian seeking a mystical experience with the true living God, it is absolutely priceless, but get a different copy. I ripped the intro out.
