The book examines the mystical experience and the various ways in which it has been expressed throughout history, from the mystics of ancient Greece and the early Christian church to the Sufi poets of Islam and the Zen masters of Japan. Underhill also delves into the psychological and philosophical aspects of mysticism, exploring the relationship between mysticism and religion, the role of the imagination in mystical experience, and the importance of personal transformation in the mystical journey. Written in a clear and accessible style, ""Mysticism"" is a classic work that continues to be widely read and studied by scholars, students, and seekers of all kinds.1911. A study in the nature and development of man's spiritual consciousness. This book falls naturally into two parts; each of which is really complete in itself, though they are in a sense complementary to one another. The first is intended to provide an introduction to the general subject of mysticism; while the second part contains a somewhat detailed study of the nature and development of man's spiritual or mystical consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
