Practical Mysticism - a Little Book for Normal People Evelyn Underhill

Originally published in 1914, this book brings up the interesting theory that we are all able to 'tap' into our spiritual powers and may enhance our lives if we do so. 'The spiritual life is not a special career, involving abstraction from the world of things. It is a part of every man's life and until he has realised it he is not a complete human being, has not entered into possession of all his powers.' Contents Include: What is Mysticism? The World of Reality The Preparation of the Mystic Meditation and Recollection Self-Adjustment Love and Will The First Form of Contemplation The Second Form of Contemplation The Third Form of Contemplation The Mystical Life
