George Matheson and Mysticism--A Biographical Study


Book Description

This book is a study on the life and mystical thought of George Matheson. In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, Matheson was a Church of Scotland minister at Innellan on the west coast of Scotland. Matheson was of Highland descent and blind from the age of eighteen. His spiritual journey included a distressing experience of atheism, the attraction of Hegelian idealism, and through the practice of silence and meditation on Scripture, he wrote of the Eternal through mystical union. Matheson has much to offer those interested in the inner life, not least Christians in the Presbyterian tradition.




Awakening The Mystics


Book Description

The moment of ecstatic bliss when the world drops away and you are thrust into the stillness of the Divine Light. These are the hallmark experiences of the mystic archetype. This has happened to mystics in every religious tradition, every culture, all over the world in every time in history. And, yet, these transformational experiences, that are so critical to our personal and global evolution are not embraced and understood or their messages applied. We are living in a time when we mystics must come out of the shadows, out from the fringes of society and bring the deeply connected soul back into the center of humanity.




What the Mystics Know


Book Description

For Christians seeking a way of thinking outside of strict dualities, this guide explores methods for letting go of division and living in the present. Drawn from the Gospels, Jesus, Paul, and the great Christian contemplatives, this examination reveals how many of the hidden truths of Christianity have been misunderstood or lost and how to read them with the eyes of the mystics rather than interpreting them through rational thought. Filled with sayings, stories, quotations, and appeals to the heart, specific methods for identifying dualistic thinking are presented with simple practices for stripping away ego and the fear of dwelling in the present.
