| | Mysticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the context of epistemology, mysticism refers to using non-rational methods to arrive at belief and assuming that belief to be knowledge. | | | The Vedic tradition is inherently mystic; the Christian apocalyptic Book of Revelation is clearly mystical, as with Ezekiel's or Daniel's visions of Judaism, and Muslims believe that the angel Gabriel inspired the Qur'an in a mystical manner. | | | Planet Baha'i Mysticism Resources A look at mysticism in the Bahá'í Holy Writings, its relationship to mystical elements in other religions, and its impact on the lives of individual Bahá'ís. |

| | Vision quest (mysticism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A vision quest is a mystic search for the revelation of the unity of all things in the natural world and for the answer to a question. | | | This practice is found throughout the world although it is often associated with Native American traditions. |

| | Sociology 115 lecture for 9-27: Shamanism, visionquests, and hallucinogen use: Looking at drugs through different eyes |
| | It combines something of the vision quest and belief in general supernatural power with the Christian Trinity; its doctrine teaches that God is a great spirit and Jesus a guardian spirit. | | | The satori of the Zen Buddhist, the samadhi of the yogi, and the ecstasy of the Christian visionary all closely resemble the insight obtained through the vision quest. | | | The young man on a vision quest must ask himself if what he is experiencing is genuine contact with a spiritual guardian or if it is merely the effects of sleeplessness. |

| | The Sensitives: Dynamics and Dangers of Mysticism - Larson Publications |
| | The devotional life consists of prayer and worship; the mystical life consists of intuition and meditation. | | | There are certain conditions of the mystical life which remain indispensable, quite irrespective of the century or the milieu in which aspirants live. | | | Mysticism is simply an attempt to provide a system for those whom ordinary religion has ceased to help. |

| | Vision Dictionary |
| | This vision is not physical vision, nor that which, on the astral plane, manifests itself as psychical clairvoyance; but true vision is spiritual clairvoyance - seeing through the inner spiritual eye. | | | Beholding, with inner or outer vision, a temple image, Deity, holy person or place, with the desire to inwardly contact and receive the grace and blessings of the venerated being or beings. | | | Not only does the devotee seek to see the Divine, but to be seen as well, to stand humbly in the awakened gaze of the holy one, even if for an instant, such as in a crowded temple when thousands of worshipers file quickly past the enshrined Lord. |

| | Child Toy-The Mystic Quest- An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism - An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism |
| | Description: In the late twelfth century, at the height of the Middle Ages that saw the flowering of the mystical element in Christendom, the Rabbinic Judaism of southern Europe was transformed by the eruption of new, Gnostic attitudes and symbolism. | | | On "The Character of Jewish Mysticism" he states "Before there is mysticism, there is religion". | | | By demonstrating the pervasive mystical dimension of Jewish culture, Ariel gives his Jewish readers the great gift of enlarging their understanding of what they already know, enabling them to find new revelation in the religion that has always guided them. |

| | Mysticism -- Holiness East and West -- Denise Lardner Carmody John Tully Carmody |
| | In Mysticism: Holiness East and West, the Carmodys apply this broad definition of mysticism - a direct encounter with ultimate reality - to mystical experiences found in the world's great religions, providing insight into mysticism and into religious practice around the globe. | | | Equally important, the Carmodys compare the mysticism found in one tradition with that found in the others, revealing how mystical practice varies widely from one religious group to the next. | | | Likewise, the book compares John of the Cross's negation of the self with the Indian doctrine of "not this, not that" which relates to the Buddhist idea of Nirvana. |

| | Printer Friendly Version of Finding Your Life's Calling |
| | A calling often emerges as a result of religious, spiritual, or mystical experiences, for example, through external initiations, dreams, inner voice phenomena, deep meditation, synchronistic occurrences, shamanic journeys and traumatic life events such as near death episodes, and the use of oracular or symbolic methods such as astrology. | | | We may perceive a vision or messages from an inner voice or spiritual guide during deep meditation. | | | Not everyone finds a calling during his or her lifetime, and those people who do often pass through significant periods of searching and questing before they achieve illumination of their life's central work. |

| | Berit Kjos -- Islaming Mysticism - The Sufi Quest for Spiritual Oneness |
| | In contrast, mystics in search of spiritual union -- whether in the name of Allah or an impersonal pantheistic force or a New Age "Christ" -- may well invoke spiritual forces that are anything but gentle and peace loving. | | | Here Sufi mysticism blends with medieval "Christian" mysticism as well as with Buddhism and other forms of mysticism. | | | While Moderate and Folk Islam tend to focus on the practical needs of life, Islamic mysticism has traditionally been linked to spiritual experience and the pursuit of oneness with the Divine. |

| | Indigenousness and the Politics of Spirituality |
| | The commodification of indigenous spirituality that marked the last half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st is based on Romanticism’s construction of indigenes as more authentic, closer to nature and the sacred than Westerners; but it grew out of popular fascination with indigenous spirituality, fueled partly by ethnography and its imitators. | | | At first, they turned to books such as those mentioned above; but by the 1980s a growing popular literature on New Age mysticism was emerging, drawing many concepts from Romantic notions of indigenous spirituality, but written predominantly by Westerners, some of whom referenced knowledge they did not, in fact, possess. | | | Beginning in the 1960s, many westerners seeking alternatives to Judeo-Christian religions sought out the spiritual teachings of native peoples. |
