"Practical Mysticism" by Evelyn Underhill is a classic work that delves into the exploration of mystical experiences and the practical application of mystical principles in everyday life. Originally published in 1914, Underhill's insightful and accessible writing has made this book a timeless guide for those seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality.In this influential work, Underhill combines her extensive knowledge of theology, philosophy, and psychology to demystify the concept of mysticism and make it accessible to a broader audience. The book is structured as a guide, offering practical insights and exercises to help readers embark on their own mystical journey.Underhill explores various aspects of mysticism, including the stages of the mystical life, the nature of God, and the transformative power of prayer and contemplation. She emphasizes the idea that mysticism is not reserved for a select few but is a path that anyone can pursue, regardless of their religious background.The author draws from a wide range of spiritual traditions, incorporating insights from Christianity, Hinduism, Sufism, and other mystical traditions. This interfaith approach adds depth and richness to her exploration of mysticism, making the book inclusive and relevant to readers from diverse spiritual backgrounds."Practical Mysticism" is not merely a theoretical exploration; it offers practical exercises and suggestions for incorporating mystical practices into daily life. Underhill's writing is clear, engaging, and filled with wisdom, making the book an invaluable resource for both beginners and those already on a spiritual journey.Evelyn Underhill's "Practical Mysticism" remains a seminal work in the field, influencing subsequent generations of spiritual seekers, writers, and scholars. Its enduring popularity attests to the timeless relevance of its teachings and the universal appeal of the mystical quest for a deeper connection with the divine.

"Mysticism is the art of union with Reality. The mystic is a person who has attained that union in greater or less degree; or who aims at and believes in such attainment." So writes Evelyn Underhill, author of Practical Mysticism. In this little book, she explains precisely what that means and how we can put it to use in everyday life.In surprisingly timeless terms but under the guise of "Christian Mysticism," Underhill describes in 1914 what could rightly be called "secular mindfulness" today. She doesn't use much Christian terminology, instead preferring words that may be considered "new age," which allows readers to explore the mystical aspects of their own worldview without betraying their deeply held beliefs.Practical Mysticism is not a guidebook for mystical practice, although it does provide some tips along the way. What it does give is an introduction for the sufficiently motivated; those who see (or want to see) the world in a different way.

The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in the latter half of the 14th century. The text is a spiritual guide to contemplative prayer. "Be willing to be blind, and give up all longing to know the why and how, for knowing will be more of a hindrance than a help." This 1912 edition was edited by Evelyn Underhill, and contains her introduction.

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN CALLED "The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day" in order to emphasize as much as possible the practical, here-and-now nature of its subject; and specially to combat the idea that the spiritual life-or the mystic life, as its more intense manifestations are sometimes called-is to be regarded as primarily a matter of history. It is not. It is a matter of biology. Though we cannot disregard history in our study of it, that history will only be valuable to us in so far as we keep tight hold on its direct connection with the present, its immediate bearing on our own lives: and this we shall do only in so far as we realize the unity of all the higher experiences of the race. In fact, were I called upon to choose a motto which should express the central notion of these chapters, that motto would be-"There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." This declaration I would interpret in the widest possible sense; as suggesting the underlying harmony and single inspiration of all man's various and apparently conflicting expressions of his instinct for fullness of life. For we shall not be able to make order, in any hopeful sense, of the tangle of material which is before us, until we have subdued it to this ruling thought: seen one transcendent Object towards which all our twisting pathways run, and one impulsion pressing us towards it. - Evelyn Underhill
