Sources of Power in Human Life
Evelyn Underhill opens this book by proclaiming, “This book has been called The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day in order to emphasize as much as possible the practical, here-and-now nature of its subject.” Underhill uses psychological insights to help us understand the ways in which mysticism, rather than being an esoteric experience for a spiritual elite, is something natural to every person. She then gives practical advice for growing as an individual mystic, engaging in mysticism as a member of a church or religious group, deepening your experience of the mystical life through reading and learning, and finally living as a mystic in the modern world.
