Synopsis

Everyday Mysticism shows how inner experience shapes belief, identity, and community in modern life.

This accessible volume examines mysticism not as a distant rite, but as a normal part of life that can deepen our understanding of religion and self. The book blends clear definitions with thoughtful argument, inviting readers to see mysticism as a practical guide to living with meaning. It links inner experience to everyday relationships, culture, and faith, and it engages psychology to explore how mystical awareness forms and grows.

• Learn how mysticism is defined and how it relates to everyday religion and personal faith.
• Explore the role of inner experience, the mind, and the subconscious in spiritual life.
• See how mysticism influences identity, community, and ethical living in the modern world.
• Discover a grounded, non-dogmatic approach that connects spiritual insight with daily practice.

Ideal for readers curious about the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and contemporary faith practices.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Mysticism and Modern Life

Does religious conviction spring from the rationalizing faculty or the intuitive faculty, from the "freezing reason's colder part" or the "warmth within the breast"? Does it rest upon logic or faith?

This is an issue upon which the recent study of mysticism throws much light. Nor is it aiding us in this respect alone. It promises much help in untwisting the tangle of modern life and in affording a clue to its true value and use.

Many readers will take up - or perhaps let lie - a book entitled Mysticism with a not wholly unjustified prejudice. The phrase "religious experience" would be far preferable for a volume like this to the much-misunderstood and much-abused word "mysticism," were it not that the latter indicates the faith of a historic succession of men and women who have been the exponents and defenders of religious experience of an intense and significant type.
