Présentation de l'éditeur

Long considered a classic and essential work on the subject of mysticism, Evelyn Underhill presents her insightful and original theories on the nature of the mystic state. Underhill bases her examples primarily on Christian Saints, but she also mentions mystic examples in Sufism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religious belief systems. The book is divided into two sections, "The Mystic Fact" and "The Mystic Way." The Mystic Fact explores the theological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of mysticism, and The Mystic Way explores applied mysticism as a means for spiritual growth. A must read for any student of spirituality, and higher states of consciousness.
