Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Spirituality, or the Spiritual Man This little book is a plea for a unified life. It endeavors to analyze, to be sure, but only that some conception of the wholeness of the spiritual life may be seen back of its multiplicity of ex periences. The sermons were preached to that caravan of hearers Which passes, on successive Sunday mornings, before the vision of a preacher in a great city. To teach a comprehensive doctrine under such circumstances is not easy. The demand is for some suggestive allusion, some illuminating phrase, some interpreting principle, that can be caught by the hearer as he passes. Elaborately reasoned truth does not ourish under such condi tions. In submitting the sermons to print the author calls attention to thes, e conditjons, 'hoping they will induce the reader} to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aspects of the Spiritual The essays which follow cover a wide range of topics, but they all come, I think, easily under the title which I have given them. And for the reason that, in my view at least, whatever the theme you choose, if you pursue it far enough, it will lead you to the same end. It will disclose itself as an aspect of the spiritual. We call ours an age of materialism. That need not greatly trouble us, for, if we examine the material of our materialism, we find it always a thin affair; with cracks and crevices in all directions, that offer views into another and a grander realm. And so, whether we discuss, as I have here endeavoured to do, such questions as the psychology of a crowd, or the Intelligence of flowers, or sunshine, or religion's Innermost gospels, we find that we are only opening different gates into the same field. That field is the spiritual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Essentials of Mysticism and Other Essays Classic Reprint written by Evelyn Underhill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Mysticism and Other Essays So we are forced to ask ourselves, what is the essential element in spiritual experience? Which of the many states and revelations described by the mystics are integral parts of it; and what do these states and degrees come to, when we describe them In the current phraseology and strip off the monastic robes in which they are usually dressed? What elements are due to the suggestions of tradition, to conscious or unconscious symbolism, to the misinterpretation of emotion, to the invasion of cravings from the lower centres, or the disguised fulfilment of an unconscious wish? And when all these channels of illusion have been blocked, what is left? This will be a difficult and Often a painful enquiry. But it is an enquiry which ought to be faced by all who believe in the validity of man's spiritual experience; in order that their faith may be established on a firm basis, and disentangled from those unreal and impermanent elements which are certainly destined to destruction, and with which it is at present too often confused. I am sure that at the present moment we serve best the highest interests of the soul by subjecting the whole mass of material which is called mysti cism to an inexorable criticism. Only by inflicting the faithful wounds of a friend can we save the science of the inner life from mutilation at the hands of the psychologists.

Download or read book Mysticism written by Evelyn Underhill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Consciousness: Mysticism - The Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness is a seminal book about Christian mysticism written by one of the most widely read authors on the subject, the ever popular Evelyn Underhill continues her trend of truly life-altering writings. Underhill has divided Mysticism into two parts. The first section of the book, "The Mystic Fact," serves as an introduction to Christian mysticism, tracing the history and nature of mysticism from theological and philosophical perspectives. A chapter is also included on mysticism and magic, a relationship that perhaps forms the most controversial aspect of mysticism. The second part of Underhill's book (dubbed "The Mystic Way") is the author's study of the process of mystical growth. This portion of the book can almost be read as a "how-to." For those seeking spiritual growth through Christian mysticism, it is this portion of the book that will be most valuable and potentially life altering. Mysticism remains one of the most heralded texts examining Christian mysticism. The reason for this is simple: Underhill's prose and clarity of voice are remarkable. The text is simple yet both illuminating and inspiring. Both the novice and the experienced follower will find tremendous value in this book. Spiritual Consciousness: Mysticism - The Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness is perhaps the most well known book on the subject matter, and with good reason. It is a true accomplishment, and one that deserves to be read by anybody with a passing interest in mysticism. Underhill's book is highly recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Spiritual Philosophy: Being an Exposition of Interior Principles Spirits have looked with dismay on the dense and stifling atmosphere of the lower world. They have seen that the earth has been clouded with an emanation which has flowed from the gross and undeveloped minds of the people. They see that Materialism has been the prevailing faith of the mass through all the darkened ages of the Past, and that superstitions of the most degrading character have been fostered in the foul bosom of the human race. They have beheld the vision which such scenes have presented with the regret which sympathizing angels ever feel for the unfortunate and depressed; and in the love which flows amid the homes of wretchedness and suffering, have they spoken to the hearts which are buried in the gloom of earthly corruption. Spirits have seen what the blinded world do not see, because they are elevated above the plane of sensuous existence, and can perceive the deep and interior reality. Thus it is beheld as a lamentable truth that the world has been ever, in all previous eras, darkly and grossly material - that it has lived and flourished amid the fading dreams of sense and with all the surrounding influences of degrading passion.

Birds weave their nests, the lion finds a lair, Man builds his halls, - These are but coverts from earth's war and storm, Homes where our lesser lives take shape and breath; But, if no heavenly man has grown, what form Clothes thee at death? And when thy meed of penalty is o'er, And fire has burnt the dross, where gold is none, Shall separate life, but wasted heretofore, Still linger on? God fills all space; whatever doth offend From His unbounded Presence shall be spurned; Or deem'st thou He should garner tares, whose end Is to be burned? If thou wouldst see the Power that round thee sways, In whom all motion, thought, and life are cast, Know, that the pure, who travel heavenward ways, See God at last."
