Written by a noted authority, this study sets mysticism in conversation with metaphysics, psychology, theology, magic, and symbolism, offering a clear route into a complex field. Alongside its broader framework, it examines mystical consciousness in detail, tracing experiences and stages including the awakening and purification of the self, voices and visions, ecstasy and rapture, and the dark night of the soul.
