Book excerpt: Practical Mysticism is a book written by Evelyn Underhill and first published in 1915. In this book Underhill sets out her belief that spiritual life is part of human nature and as such is available to every human being. Underhill's practical mysticism is secular rather than religious, since "it is a natural human activity." In the following paragraph, Underhill defines the meaning of the phrase "Practical Mysticism" Therefore it is to a practical mysticism that the practical man is here invited: to a training of his latent faculties, a bracing and brightening of his languid consciousness, an emancipation from the fetters of appearance, a turning of his attention to new levels of the world. Thus he may become aware of the universe that the spiritual artist is always trying to disclose to the race. This amount of mystical perception-this 'ordinary contemplation', as the specialist call it, -is possible to all men: without it, they are not wholly alive. Source Wikipedia

Download or read book Practical Mysticism written by Evelyn Underhill and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Underhill (1875 -1941) was a prolific and very popular writer on mysticism and spirituality in the first half of the 20th century, and I am increasingly convinced that she speaks to us today. While she began her writing life as a novelist and poet, she found her vocation in making the profound and at times mysterious inner life of saints, contemplatives and mystics interesting, and even accessible to her many readers. Practical Mysticism, a Little Book for Normal People, is an excellent place to meet Underhill for the first time, or to refresh your knowledge of her work. It is a more condensed read than Mysticism, but equally rich in references to mystics such as Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, and while Underhill draws examples from the Christian tradition, her approach is pragmatic rather than doctrinally insistent, and she is interested in the spiritual growth of individuals far more than the activities of group worship. This is a public domain text edited and with an introduction by Dr Sarah Law, whose PhD (1997) included a study of Underhill.

Book Synopsis Mystics of the Church by : Evelyn Underhill
Download or read book Mystics of the Church written by Evelyn Underhill and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-07-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Underhill's classic book on mysticism shows not only the historic development of Christian mysticism and its influence on the Church, but gives a deep insight into the spiritual growth of the individual mystics, their struggles, achievements and influence. Covering the whole development of the Christian Church from St. Paul to the present century, the author illustrates the differing backgrounds and approach of many of the great mystics such as St. Augustine of Hippo, whose writings helped to create the Church's understanding of its mystical character; and St. Francis of Assisi, whose example proved an inspiration to many. The book gives much more than an opportunity to "meet" the great mystics: it also provides a framework for the analysis of true mysticism and false, contrasting Catherine of Sienna, a girl of the people whose transcendental mysticism benefited many in an age of ecclesiastical degradation, with the well-born and beautiful Madame Guyon, whose excesses brought mysticism into disrepute. Evelyn Underhill illuminates the whole of her subject by drawing attention to the differences of approach that can bring mortals along the road to the divine, from the zealous militancy of a Loyola to the passivity of the Quietists. This absorbing study by one of the great writers on mysticism covers every aspect of the subject and gives a clear understanding of the mystics' world in writing that is both informative and stimulating.

Book Synopsis Practical Mysticism in Islam and Christianity by : Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh
Download or read book Practical Mysticism in Islam and Christianity written by Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Mysticism in Islam and Christianity offers a comparative study of the works of the Sufi-poet Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273) and the practical teachings of the German Dominican, Meister Eckhart (c1260-1327/8). Rumi has remained an influential figure in Islamic mystical discourse since the thirteenth century, while also extending his impact to the Western spiritual arena. However, his ideas have frequently been interpreted within the framework of other mystical, philosophical, or religious systems. Through its novel approach, this book aims to reformulate Rumi’s practical mysticism by employing four methodological principles: a) mysticism is a coherent structure with mutual interconnection between its parts; b) the imposition of alien structures to interpret any particular mysticism damages its inward coherency; c) practical mysticism consists of two main parts, namely practices and stages; and d) the proper use of comparative methodology enables a deeper understanding of each juxtaposed system. Eckhart’s speculative mysticism, which differs from and enjoys similarities with the love-based mysticism of Rumi, provides a "mirror" that highlights the special features of Rumi’s practical mysticism. Such comparison also allows a deeper comprehension of Eckhart’s practical thought. Offering a critical examination of practical mysticism, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Islamic studies, comparative mysticism, and the intellectual history of Islam.

Book Synopsis The Practical Mystic by : Katharine Pedrick
Download or read book The Practical Mystic written by Katharine Pedrick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE In the history of thought, the truly religious Mystics of all times have been idealists, but of a distinct type. It has been of interest to define this type again, that we may be quite sure of the modern mystic's place in the spiritual development of mankind. The experiences of the spiritually intuitive are of interest; but the laws underlying such experiences are of the utmost moment to us, and should be formulated. Especially at this time do these laws merit our attention, and for very practical reasons we are urged to their investigation. Indeed, to-day the Christian Scientists and other types of the modern mystic declare that they are consciously working in accordance with these laws and, at will, are able to arrive at definite spiritual realisations which make for the overcoming of evil and for the increase of good. An individual expression of spiritual truth and its application is given in chapters Xiii and xiv as an aid to those who may wish to avail themselves of it. This expression began to shape itself after about eight years of exclusive devotion to the study of the subject. The thought gradually assumed the form in which it is here presented during seven additional years in which it was being practically applied to everyday problems. For the mystic to attempt in detail to describe his heavenly vision and to point out to others a path leading to it, is at once to become aware of the impossibility of conveying the pure meaning of spiritual thought in terms of the human understanding. So compelling, however, was the beauty of the vision, and so practical have been the benefits which it bestowed, that the author has dared attempt to mark out a way to the spiritual experiences whence it is secured, and that in spite of the inconsistencies to which verbal language renders one liable. It will, of course, be obvious that my purpose has been, not to construct a philosophy upon a logical basis, but to give to a definite experience the support of philosophic analysis, and thereby disclose the way of its attainment. As an aid in the statement of my position, I have occasionally quoted from authors whose philosophy, as a whole, differs widely from my own. I have used the word mystic in its true, technical sense; and have applied it to that consciousness which knows the spiritual, to one who knows this truth through spiritual aspiration and intuition, and who ultimately understands it. It is with much appreciation of their helpfulness that I acknowledge my indebtedness to Kant, Critique of Pure Reason; to Royce, The Spirit of Modern Philosophy; also to Science and Health and other Christian Science literature.

Download or read book Mysticism written by Evelyn Underhill and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysticism is Evelyn Underhill's timeless manual, which offers thorough and rich guidance to the principles of mystical Christianity. A classic since its publication in 1911, Mysticism remains an authority on its subject. Despite more modern works providing a more updated or formal analysis of Christian mysticism, none do so with the passion and splendour with which Underhill tackles the subject. Having herself had spiritual experiences, the author mentions that such events inspire those who feel them to action rather than to continual idle reflection of the divine. Although presented as a textbook, Evelyn Underhill's masterwork does not adhere to the traditional principles of logical presentation the reader expects to see in such a format. Instead, Underhill makes a point of opposing and contrasting her views on mysticism to that of contemporary psychologist William James. In contrast to the four pillars of rational explanations devised by James, Underhill creates her own much different emphasis: Firstly, she proposes that mysticism is practical, not theoretical - it requires action on the part of the seeker. Secondly, there is nothing scientific about mysticism - it is based purely upon spiritualism. Thirdly, mysticism is pursued, and happens because of, love between those experiencing the event and the divine forces they perceive. Lastly, mysticism is a significant psychological experience which individuals identify as a turning point in their attitude to life and the world. This publication is derived from the book's 12th edition, which is treasured for the mindful revisions and additions Evelyn Underhill appended to the original text. In reaction to earlier reviews, additional notes are appended to clarify some of the deeper passages and aid the comprehensive flow of the chapters.
