The Interior Castle, Book Study. Introduction

Introduction. 

Take time to listen to: Introduction – The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila – Beginning to Pray with Dr. Anthony Lilles Podcast

Note that in this podcast Anthony Lilles uses the word contemplation when he is actually talking about what Teresa calls meditation.  As explain in the Introduction of the Interior Castle "By the term "supernatural prayer" (contemplation) Teresa refers to the whole series of forms and degrees of infused or mystical prayer." p.268
