	Quietism
		Quietism is thus generally speaking a sort of false or exaggerated mysticism (q.v.), which under the guise of the loftiest spirituality contains erroneous notions which, if consistently followed, would prove fatal to morality.
		Quietism finally, in the strictest acceptation of the term, is the doctrine put forth and defended in the seventeenth century by Molinos (q.v.) and Petrucci.
		Medieval Quietism is further represented in the vagaries of Hesychasm (q.v.), according to which the supreme aim of life on earth is the contemplation of the uncreated light whereby man is intimately united with God.

	Quietism - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Quietism was essentially a reaction against the bureaucratic ecclesiasticism always latent within the church of Rome, though it had come more especially to the front during the struggles of the counterReformation carried through by the Jesuits.
		Quietism is an outgrowth from the mysticism of the great 26th-century Spaniards, St Teresa and St John of the Cross, though it would be unfair to hold them responsible for all the utterances of their disciples.
		The Spanish monk, Juan Falconi, who is generally reckoned as the father of Quietism, died in the odour of sanctity in 1632; some thirty years later his fellow-countryman, Molinos, transported his doctrines to Rome, where they gained unbounded popularity with bishops and cardinals, and even with pope Innocent XI.

	Journey to the Center of the Soul: Mysticism Made Simple

		Quietism, the evil twin of mysticism, has been around since the Middle Ages.
		To be fair, many quietists were actually seeking mysticism, but became lost and locked at the mystical stage of stillness, and mistook that for a goal, an end, rather than a means to an end.

		At a first glance, the philosophy of these forerunners might be characterized by a distant attitude towards the Age, by the accent on serenity - quietism - on the withdrawal from the outside world, on total seclusion.
		The Taoist quietism is, rather, an attitude imposed by the social circumstances, by the Movement of Heaven, and remains for each to appreciate when it is the time to "withdraw" or to "advance".
		The modern specialists and the commentators of the Taoist philosophy have ignored this aspect, and built a socio-historical and philosophical image of the primitive Taoism based on the idea of ascetics, which is not, in fact, an error.
