St. John is well-known as a Christian mystic of\u003cbr\u003eFlemish descent who spent most of his life in solitude, living as a\u003cbr\u003ehermit or with a small number of disciples. Adornment of the Spiritual\u003cbr\u003eMarriage is a study of the Bible's metaphor of Christ as the Bridegroom\u003cbr\u003eand the church as the Bride, a \"marriage\" that produces perfect union.\u003cbr\u003eUnion with God is also the theme of The Sparkling Stone and The\u003cbr\u003eBook of Supreme Truth, where St. John describes several mystical\u003cbr\u003elevels of union with God in which the human body and mind are\u003cbr\u003eforgotten.
