Evelyn Underhill ~ The Mystic

Evelyn Underhill (6 December 1875 – 15 June 1941) was an English
Anglo-Catholic poet and novelist as well as a pacifist and
mystic. An only child, she described her early mystical insights
as "abrupt experiences of the peaceful, undifferentiated plane of
reality—like the 'still desert' of the mystic—in which there was
no multiplicity nor need of explanation". The meaning of these
experiences became a lifelong quest for understanding and
integration and inspired in her much writing and contemplation.
This reading is a short selection of pointings taken from the
text, 'Mysticism'.
