Such images are no longer meaningful for many people - or necessary.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e... These pages explore an alternative spiritual path that has the character of a grounded, embodied mysticism and replaces the heavenly, disembodied escapism that has dominated the religious collective for more than 4,000 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e... \u003cem\u003ePsychological mysticism\u003c\/em\u003e expands the meanings of god\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003ereligion\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003emystic, and mystical and validates the universality of human experiences of the \u003cem\u003enuminous\u003c\/em\u003e. The mystical perspective is one of radical immanence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e... The whole of the human enterprise is this: It is an experiment to accept both our inner angels and monsters, individually and collectively, and to live responsibly our social contract assigned by Nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e... When the divine is located within matter, within the natural world, and within the human psyche - rather than outside or beyond - the whole of life becomes a mystical sanctuary.
