Man and the Supernatural. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Underhill - Librorium Editions, 2024 -
I wish to write a book about the fundamentals of that which we usually call ‘religion’. Not about the varieties and peculiarities of individual ‘religious experience’; for these varieties and peculiarities seem to me to receive a degree of detailed attention entirely out of proportion to their importance. Hundreds of students of ‘religious psychology’ can now pass an examination in the phenomena of conversion or the degrees of prayer; but few have anything solid to say about that view of reality which the fact of conversion and practice of prayer require of us, and without which these things are meaningless.
MysticismA Study in Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Underhill - Librorium Editions, 2021 -
The most highly developed branches of the human family have in common one peculiar characteristic. They tend to produce—sporadically it is true, and often in the teeth of adverse external circumstances—a curious and definite type of personality; a type which refuses to be satisfied with that which other men call experience, and is inclined, in the words of its enemies, to "deny the world in order that it may find reality." We meet these persons in the east and the west; in the ancient, mediaeval, and modern worlds.
