Notes

St. Teresa of Avila notes the Spiritual Marriage occurs in the "Seventh Mansions". "Here at last the soul reaches the Spiritual Marriage. Here dwells the King—“it may be called another Heaven”: the two lighted candles join and become one; the falling rain becomes merged in the river. There is complete transformation, ineffable and perfect peace; no higher state is conceivable, save that of the Beatific Vision in the life to come."[1]
