Bernadette Roberts (1931–2017) was a former Carmelite nun and contemplative in the Catholic tradition. Roberts extensively chronicled and described her life and spiritual journey.
Her book 'Contemplative: Autobiography of the Early Years' presents an account of her early family life and spiritual experiences. Her spiritual journey after entering the cloister is described in 'The Path to No-Self: Life at the Center'. This book includes descriptions of her experience of the "Dark Nights" and of the state of "Union," as spoken of by various Christian mystics.
After years of life in union with God, Roberts described an event she calls the experience of "no-Self" in 'The Experience of No-Self: A Contemplative Journey'. The book, however, only covers a two-year period after the events described. Roberts further elaborated on the context for this event.
After the first publication of The Experience, Roberts was invited to speak around the country, to present her talk, "A Passage Through Self," that uses a series of circles to illustrate the spiritual journey. For the last 30 years Roberts gave annual retreats entitled "The Essence of Christian Mysticism," in which she presented the essence of Christian mysticism as Trinity, Christ, and Faith.
Her last work was The Real Christ (2012). (Wikepedia) This is an excerpt of Bernadette Roberts speaking about the experience of no-self.
