Chapter III. Prayer of Quiet
Stanbrook Abbey translation, Thomas Baker third edition, 1921
Teresa of Ávila and Benedict Zimmerman
13. There are people, some of whom I have known, whose minds and imaginations are so active as to fancy they see whatever they think about, which is very dangerous.153 Perhaps I may treat of this later on, but cannot do so now. I have dwelt at length on this mansion, as I believe it to be the one most souls enter. As the natural is combined with the supernatural, the devil can do more harm here than later on, when God does not leave him so many opportunities. May God be for ever praised! Amen.
