10. The Interior Castle: The Silkworm, The Sleeping Soul, and Christ
The Commentaries
The prayer in The 4th Mansions is like a “drowsiness,” (“because the soul seems to slumber, being neither quite asleep nor wholly awake”), and in The 5th Mansions the soul is asleep – both to the world and to itself. Whereas the soul in The 4th Mansion still experiences doubts, there are no doubts in the Prayer of Union of The 5th Mansion.
