This work aims to demystify the concept of mysticism and present it in an accessible way for the average person, focusing on how individuals can cultivate a deeper sense of spiritual awareness despite the distractions of daily life. The book addresses common misconceptions about mysticism and emphasizes its practical applications for personal growth and fulfillment. At the start of the text, Underhill sets the stage by addressing the challenges faced by individuals seeking to understand mysticism amidst worldly chaos, particularly in the context of the World War. She defines mysticism as the "art of union with Reality," encouraging readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and contemplation. The opening chapters explore the meaning of mysticism, the notion of reality beyond mere perception, and the necessary preparations for engaging in a mystical life. Underhill invites readers to re-examine their understanding of existence through focused contemplation, urging them to move beyond superficial interpretations of life and embrace a more profound connection to their inner selves and the world around them.
