“But no, I decided, he is just a man at peace with himself and with life—an accomplishment rare in its own right.”
John Horgan, Rational Mysticism: Spirituality Meets Science in the Search for Enlightenment

Evelyn Underhill
“They are ever eager to assure us that man’s most sublime thoughts of the Transcendent are but a little better than his worst: that loving intuition is the only certain guide. “By love may He be gotten and holden, but by thought never.”
Evelyn Underhill, Practical Mysticism

Evelyn Underhill
“that “henceforth the heat of having shall never scorch him more.”
Evelyn Underhill, Practical Mysticism

Evelyn Underhill
“To “purify” the senses is to release them, so far as human beings may, from the tyranny of egocentric judgments; to make of them the organs of direct perception. This means that we must crush our deep-seated passion for classification and correspondences; ignore the instinctive, selfish question, “What does it mean to me?” learn to dip ourselves in the universe at our gates, and know it, not from without by comprehension, but from within by self-mergence.”
Evelyn Underhill, Practical Mysticism

“At a time when I was trying to make something of myself, they were a destabilizing influence.”
John Horgan, Rational Mysticism: Spirituality Meets Science in the Search for Enlightenment
