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

“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

“caitiff,”
Ronald McNair Scott, Robert the Bruce, King of Scots

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

“If you think you are advancing toward unity with God or the absolute,” he said, “and are not growing in love and charity toward your fellow person, you’re just deluding yourself.”
John Horgan, Rational Mysticism: Spirituality Meets Science in the Search for Enlightenment
