''Spiritual Torrents'' is a spiritual treatise by Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon, first published in 1682. The book explores the journey of the soul towards communion with God, detailing different states of prayer and spiritual experience. Guyon categorizes this journey into three classes: the active approach, the passive way of light, and the deeper passive way of faith, emphasizing the importance of surrendering to God's will. This work is notable for its insights into mysticism and Quietism within the Catholic Church, reflecting Guyon's personal spiritual experiences and struggles.
