“Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness” by Evelyn Underhill is a foundational work exploring the mystical experience across history and religious traditions. In this book, Underhill outlines the stages of the mystic path—awakening, purification, illumination, dark night of the soul, and union—emphasizing that mysticism is not escapism but a disciplined, transformative journey toward ultimate reality. Drawing on Christian, Eastern, and philosophical sources, she argues that true mysticism unites love, intellect, and will in the pursuit of divine truth.
