Resources for Contemplative Spirituality

Martha Ainsworth's site Metanoia has a good list of resources and writing...

I entered into unknowing and there I remained unknowing transcending all knowledge.  He who truly arrives there cuts free from himself; all that he knew before now seems worthless, and his knowledge so soars that he is left in unknowing transcending all knowledge.  The higher he ascends the less he understands, because the cloud is dark which lit up the night;  whoever knows this remains always in unknowing transcending all knowledge.  This knowledge in unknowing is so overwhelming that wise men disputing can never overthrow it, for their knowledge does not reach to the understanding of not understanding, transcending all knowledge.
