Preparation Of The Mystic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425333966)

""Preparation of the Mystic"" is a book written by Evelyn Underhill, a prominent English writer and philosopher of the early 20th century. The book is a guide for those seeking to deepen their spiritual lives and become mystics. Underhill argues that mysticism is not reserved for a select few, but is a natural and attainable state for anyone who is willing to prepare themselves for it. The book provides practical advice on how to cultivate the necessary qualities of a mystic, such as detachment, self-discipline, and a deepening of one's relationship with God or the divine. Underhill draws on a wide range of religious and philosophical traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, to illustrate her points and provide examples of mystics throughout history who have embodied these qualities. ""Preparation of the Mystic"" is a timeless and inspiring work that continues to be a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual life.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Practical Mysticism: A Little Book for Normal People, by Evelyn Underhill.
