What is Mysticism?

by Jon Mundy

There is something so compelling about the mystical journey that mystics often spend their lives clarifying the experience. The deeper you go, the lighter you become, the easier the peace. Inner light wants to shine. Vision wants to be shared. Talking about mysticism is like rolling strawberry shortcake around on the tongue. It's so delicious. It's like falling in love again and again.
What is this wonderful experience people are talking about? Why do we respond so deeply? What is Mysticism? addresses, clarifies, and deepens this question. It is a textbook on mysticism for the layman. It is a demystifying of mysticism, including a comparison of the insights of the mystics with the teaching of A Course in Miracles.

Enlightening and fun! The author calls his book "a teacher's scrapbook" and it contains a historical legacy of mysticism in the form of essays, bios, photos, facts, figures, tables, poems, reflections, jokes, quotes, cartoons, and stories from over 200 different mystics from different times. There are some flaws, but they do not take away from the satisfying experience whether reading cover to cover or dipping in here and there.

The one tiny drawback of this book is that it could use a good editing. But the volume of fascinating and incredible material on mystics, scholars, and philosophers over the centuries made me look right past that. I've read through many of the pages several times, and will keep going back to this one.

If one is wondering what is Mysticism this book tells all. Mostly all of men's insights and writings but truly a book to treasure.
