Mysticism eBooks Collection

Mysticism (from the Greek mystikos, meaning 'an initiate' ) is the knowledge of, and especially the personal experience of, states of consciousness, or levels of being, or aspects of reality, beyond normal human perception. The present meaning of the term mysticism arose via Platonism and Neoplatonism -- which referred to the Eleusinian initiation as a metaphor for the 'initiation' to spiritual truths and experiences -- and is the pursuit of communion with, identity with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, instinct or insight. Mysticism usually centers on practices intended to nurture those experiences. Mysticism may be dualistic, maintaining a distinction between the self and the divine, or may be non-dualistic.
