Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness

Mysticism

A study in the nature and development of man's spiritual consciousness. This book falls naturally into two parts; each of which is really complete in itself, though they are in a sense complementary to one another. The first is intended to provide an introduction to the general subject of mysticism; while the second part contains a somewhat detailed study of the nature and development of man's spiritual or mystical consciousness.

Radiance: A Spiritual Memoir by Evelyn Underhill

"Here we are, little half-animal, half-spiritual creatures, mysteriously urged from within, and enticed from without to communion with spiritual Reality. If and when we surrender to this craving and this attraction, we enter thereby—though at first dimly—on a completely new life full of variety, of new joy . . ." —Evelyn Underhill

Evelyn Underhill is widely regarded as one of the greatest Christian mystics. This compilation of published writings and private journals offers a candid glimpse of her inner life, from the rare spiritual awareness that she possessed as a child, to the intense curiosity and intelligence that made her one of the most respected writers and thinkers of her day. Possibly most moving, this volume also reveals Underhill's profound mid-life spiritual struggle. For the many admirers of Evelyn Underhill, and for anyone who enjoys reading accounts of the spiritual lives of others, this book presents a vivid portrait of a life that was truly radiant.

Concerning the Inner Life

This little manual for the guidance of clergymen carries with it a quiet assurance and inward strength which will make it extremely helpful to the general reader. Miss Underhill is universally recognized as an authority on mysticism and has the depth and expansiveness of spiritual experience which she enjoins on all leaders. This work contains three lectures originally delivered at the Liverpool Diocese.

Practical Mysticism: A Little Book for Normal People and Abba: Meditations Based on the Lord's Prayer

"God gives without stint all that the creature needs, but it must do its part. He gives the wheat: we must reap and grind and bake it." –Evelyn Underhill

In these two classics, British poet and mystic Evelyn Underhill shows herself to be one of the most authoritative modern voices on mysticism. Written on the eve of World War I, Practical Mysticism reviews the works of the greatest Western mystics, including Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and Thomas à Kempis. Underhill’s goal is to guide her readers on a journey toward mystical consciousness, to teach them to see the “eternal beauty beyond and beneath apparent ruthlessness.” Abba, first published in 1940, takes as its starting point the seven phrases of the Lord’s Prayer, using them as a means to propel the self toward union with God. In these important works, Underhill brings an often esoteric subject onto a practical footing, showing that the profound gifts of mysticism are not only for the few but are within reach of us all.
