"I BEGAN TO THINK OF THE SOUL

AS IF IT WERE A CASTLE

MADE OF A SINGLE DIAMOND..."

INTERIOR CASTLE is the most sublime and mature of Teresa of Avila's works, and expresses her deep experience in guiding souls toward spiritual perfection. In addition to its profound mystical content, this account of a soul's progress in virtue and grace is the record of a life -- of the interior life of Teresa of Avila.

For its central image, INTERIOR CASTLE, Teresa envisioned the soul as "a castle made of a single diamond . . . in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions." She describes the various rooms of this castle -- the degrees of purgation and continual strife -- through which the soul in its quest for perfection must pass before reaching the innermost chamber, the place of complete transfiguration and communion with God. 

In our sessions to Become a Mystic, you participate in the search for this ultimate spiritual reality by exploring the many rooms of your own castle and transform them.

Becoming a Mystic is a powerful program to give you a deeply personal, revelatory experience of your soul. As you "enter your castle" and explore with great intent the contents of your seven mansions and their many rooms, you experience a new spiritual renaissance. You learn to express your highest potential with grace.
