Description

The Mirror of the Simple Soul is a mystical text attributed to Marguerite Porete, a French mystic who was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1310. The book was originally published anonymously in 1927, but its true authorship was only confirmed in 1946.

According to Porete, the simple soul is united with God and has no will other than His, moving in a state of perpetual joy and peace. She argues that in this state, virtue becomes automatic, as the exalted soul is above the demands of ordinary virtue.

The book explores the concept of the soul's union with God, and how this state is beyond the realm of evil or sin. This profound and introspective work offers a unique perspective on spirituality and the nature of the self.
