TERESA OF ÁVILA

Teresa: the soul is a castle of seven mansions, traversed by prayer toward the innermost chamber. The Cathedral for Art (§3.2.4) is mapped on Teresa's plan. The visitor enters the nave; the artist passes the threshold of intake; the Provisional Collective inhabits the inner office; the Concept rests in the chamber that is never opened. The traversal is the practice. The innermost chamber's door is locked from the inside.
