Mysticism
Mysticism | Evelyn Underhill
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
Mysticism is Evelyn Underhill's seminal work on the subject. The book is divided into two parts, "The Mystic Fact" and "The Mystic Way." In the first part Underhill explores the theological, psychological, and philosophical underpinnings of mysticism from a historical perspective. In the second part Underhill examines the application of mysticism in one's life as a means for spiritual growth. Evelyn Underhill's Mysticism is both a fantastic introduction to the search for spirituality through mysticism and an almost encyclopedic examination of the subject.

Not always an easy read but filled with interesting things. Actually, ‘interesting‘ doesn‘t begin to do it justice, but the overall message is clear: there is more to reality than physics can show and it is within reach of all of us. In fact, it reaches out to us. Mystics have often been poor, humble, and marginalised - but they have much to say to us. Underhill‘s gift is to show this lucidly and luminously. A timeless classic.

Suet624 I love reading this kind of stuff. 4y
Mistermandolin @Suet624 In case you‘re interested, I‘ve written a couple of books that deal with experiences similar to these. You can find me at www.markfox.co.uk. 4y
