#4. "Of the Song of Angels" by Walter Hilton



I've been promising spiritual audiobooks but not providing them. So here's a medieval English mystical treatise for you -- "Of the Song of Angels" by Master Walter Hilton, monk. I found it on CCEL as part of a republished Elizabethan collection of medieval religious treatises, called The Cell of Self-Knowledge.

As usual with treatises on mystical experiences (well, good ones, anyway), there is much to say about false mystical experiences: "inputting" from the Devil appears to be less common in Master Walter's experience than overeager folks doing their best to turn their brains into mush or make their experiences into something bigger than they are. Sounds like he and Fr. Groeschel would deal well together. :)
