Studies in Mystical Religion (Classic Reprint) by Rufus Matthew Jones Pdf

Excerpt from Studies in Mystical Religion NO one doubts today that one of the main approaches to the meaning of religion is through the nature of the soul of man. It would no doubt be a mistake to push the method of the inner way to the exclusion of all other methods of studying religion, but it is certain that no body can tell us what religion is until he has sounded the deeps within man, and has dealt with the testimony of personal consciousness.

At One With the Invisible by E. Hershey Sneath Pdf

Excerpt from At One With the Invisible: Studies in Mysticism This book is the outgrowth of a seminar in Mysticism recently conducted by the writer in Yale University. There is, as Professor James suggests, an element of mysticism in all religion, and the aim of the seminar was to study its various aspects in the religious experience and teachings of those in whom it was conspicuous. All of the contributors to this volume, save one, took part in the seminar, and the writer desires to acknowledge again their kindness in render ing such valuable service and in permitting further use of their material in this way. It seemed advisable that a larger audience should share in the benefits of ir - hence this publication. Besides serving as an introduction to the study of Mysticism, the papers will prove especially service able to students of the Psychology of Religion.

Mysticism in World Religion (Classic Reprint) by Sidney Spencer Pdf

Excerpt from Mysticism in World Religion It is my conviction that mysticism is of the utmost importance to religion and so to the future of mankind. At a time when religion is met, as never before on a similar scale, with the challenge of materialist philosophy, and when the growth of scientific knowledge of the forces of Nature and the power which this brings with it are a constant temptation to men to neglect the things of the spirit, it is all the more necessary that the inner life should be quickened and renewed. But if the life of religion is to be renewed, there must be a renewal of vision and of understanding; and nothing can be of so much value from this standpoint as the study of the experience and teaching of the mystics.

The Mystical Element of Religion as Studied in Saint Catherine of Genoa and Her Friends, Vol. 2 by Friedrich von Hügel Pdf

Excerpt from The Mystical Element of Religion as Studied in Saint Catherine of Genoa and Her Friends, Vol. 2: Critical Studies The picture Of Catherine's life and teaching which was attempted in the previous volume will, I hope, have been sufficiently vivid to stimulate in the reader a desire to try and go deeper, and to get as near as may be to the driving forces, the metaphysical depths Of her life. And yet it is Obvious that, if we would understand something Of these, we must pro ceed slowly and thoroughly, and must begin with comparatively Superficial questions. Or rather, we must begin by studying her temperamental and psycho-physical endowment and con dition, and then the literary in uences that stimulated and helped to mould these things, as though all this were not secondary and but the material and occasion Of the forces and self-determinations to be considered later on.

Studies in Religion (Classic Reprint) by Anonim Pdf

Excerpt from Studies in Religion That which we see, touch, -ih a word, which appears to all or any of the senses, - is body, or firm, or appearance; and that which is not body, but the embodied, not appearance, but the appearer, we call spirit. Spirit is then the invisible force, behind or in every thing that appears. The outward is not reality, but the form of it: the outward is the manifestation of the inward: the sensuous is the apparition of the spiritual. The human frame, no more than the stars and flowers, but equally with them, are appearances of an in visible reality, - of spirit. The star is bony, so the flower, so our form all equally impres sions on the senses of an invisible force: the star one form of spirit, the flower another, the human frame another - all equally wonderful, divine, mystic. It is not in a figurative sense that flowers and stars are our brothers. They and we are alike the out-putting of invisible force: we are stars glowing here and there in the immeasurable arch of God's being; we are flowers springing upward from the earth and withering to it again and the flower and the star, like unto us, are mortal forms of immortal spirit.

The Mystical Element of Religion as Studied in Saint Catherine of Genoa and Her Friends, Vol. 1 by Friedrich Von Hugel Pdf

Excerpt from The Mystical Element of Religion as Studied in Saint Catherine of Genoa and Her Friends, Vol. 1: Introduction and Biographies Four months have sufficed to require a Second Impression Of this lengthy study Of difficult and complex themes. And this, evidently not because, but in spite of, certain peculiarities of style, - Germanisms strange on the part Of the son of a pure Scotchwoman, resident in England for some thirty-six years and more. I take this success to be due, predominantly, to the pro found importance and abiding interest Of the subject Of the book, and to the general character Of the method attempted here. May the very defects of the work help to bring home to the reader this inexhaustible richness Of its subject-matter, and to indicate the pre-existence, the super-eminence, the independence of the august Object Of religion, as compared with those very aspirations and convictions which this Object itself occasions and incites, and which our analyses so in adequately fathom. God, the Divine Spirit, is indeed before, within, and after all our truest dignity and deepest disquiet. If some years hence a Second Edition is called for, I Shall hope greatly to improve the book, largely by the aid of my various critics' strictures and requirements, which, so far, have.

The Mystic Way by Evelyn Underhill Pdf

Excerpt from The Mystic Way: A Psychological Study in Christian Origins We are still too often told that Christian mysticism is no integral part of Christianity. Sometimes, even, that it represents an opposition to the primitive Christian ideal. Sometimes we are asked to believe that it origin ated from Neoplatonic influence; that Pagan blood runs in its veins, and that its genealogy goes back to Plotinus. Far from this being the case, all the doctrines and all the experiences characteristic of genuine Christian mysticism can be found in the New Testament; and I believe that its emergence as a definite type of spiritual life coincides with the emergence of Christianity itself, in the person of its Founder.

Hours With the Mystics, Vol. 2 by Robert Alfred Vaughan Pdf

Excerpt from Hours With the Mystics, Vol. 2: A Contribution to the History of Religious Opinion The next day was fine, as well it might be after such a sunset; to Hawksfell all the party went, and there was no reading. But on the following (sunnier yet, if possible) they assembled immediately after breakfast in the summerhouse, Lowestoffe not excepted, for even he grew inactive with the heat, and declared himself content to lie on the grass by the hour. Atherton congratulated his hearers that they would not for some time be troubled with more lucubrations of his - not till they came, in due course, to Madame Guyon. For Willoughby was to take up Jacob Behmen, and Gower, who possessed (as the fruit of an artist's tour) some acquaintance with Spanish, St. Theresa. Then, unrolling his manuscript, he began.
