On Union with God
Blessed Albert The Great
Read by David Barnes





Surely the most deeply-rooted need of the human soul, its purest aspiration, is for the closest possible union with God. As one turns over the pages of this little work, written by Blessed Albert the Great towards the end of his life, when that great soul had ripened and matured, one feels that here indeed is the ideal of one's hopes.

Good Intention, but Limited

As one who practices Union with God daily, I do feel that in my life it is the best of all things. I prefer some of the Eastern yoga meditation practices personally. Although this book does contain some great ideas, I feel that the author was too much influenced by superstitions and a few issues with the Christianity of his day. I don't believe that a loving God would eternally punish one for making mistakes in a world we don't understand fully, rather I believe there are many paths and All Souls return home at last. I also feel one should have loving self-forgiveness and not despise oneself. In my studies of the many religions of the world, I have come to the conclusion that it's about the individual issues and not each religion as a whole. I have learned much from Christianity, and I prefer the views of Emmet Fox in his book The Sermon on the Mount. There are just those issues of eternal punishment and also exclusivity, in which some religions believe theirs is the only right way that I disagree with.
Beautifully done!
