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'.

A year or two ago I first heard of EH and this book. Just a few days later I (miraculously?) happened upon it in a thrift store. Guess it’s time to actually read it.
You Are Appreciated. ♥️♥️♥️

Enlightenment is not knowing. For that, you may want to see someone up close , in order to see if they know anything about being. It's not on the internet.
I hear your voice every day on my commute into work ❤

Thank you for sharing. I've had things like that happen so often, it just can't be a coincidence. I read the story of Abraham for the first time, then randomly turned on my TV just for background noise, not knowing what the name of the show was. I slowly started paying attention and realized it was the biblical story I had just read. 😊
This channel is amazing❤❤
✨💚🙏🏻💚✨
It flows like poetry, it is spiritual harmonic knowledge, that have be taught by mysticism school through the Quadrivium for eons. It is communion with source itself, it is Samadhi ❤️ Gratitude 🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your beautiful work it is a true life’s companion 🙏🪷

Yep here also I have the love of silence and yet most people are totally unaware of its existence they natter like sparrow's on a wire. I remember as a young child my mother would ask me what was wrong. Why so quiet. She would have not understood if I simply told her. She was suspecting there was something wrong with me as my twin brother could not shut up. And sixty have passed and it's the one thing that has never changed. I have a great love of silence and quietude.
O let me die outside God's door if i am not yet called in, straying from doors to doors in the endless samsara dying out of sheer tiredness is what awaits when i turn away a leaves these silent gates, o let me now not move at all as the budha that night, sitting finally ,watching the play unfolds watching the dance of darkness and light ,being just being doing nothing at all.
