The History of Contemplative Prayer

I'm not an expert on it, but my understanding is that there were these mystical practices for various reasons that were being practiced a lot in monasteries by monks and by some nuns. There's another person who's very well known named Meister Eckhart, who's often referred to by new ages. So you've got kind of a new age connection that way and this medieval mysticism, which I think was, you know, fairly, I guess it was pretty prevalent. It was prevalent enough to still be influencing a lot of people today.
