Evelyn Underhill Quotes
It Is Significant That Many Of These Experiences Are Reported To Us From Periods Of War And Distress: That The Stronger The Forces Of Destruction Appeared, The More Intense Grew The Spiritual Vision Which Opposed Them. We Learn From These Records That The Mystical Consciousness Has The Power Of Lifting Those Who Possess It To A Plane Of Reality Which No Struggle, No Cruelty, Can Disturb: Of Conferring A Certitude Which No Catastrophe Can Wreck. Yet It Does Not Wrap Its Initiates In A Selfish And Otherworldly Calm, Isolate Them From The Pain And Effort Of The Common Life. Rather, It Gives Them Renewed Vitality; Administering To The Human Spirit Not--as Some Suppose--a Soothing Draught, But The Most Powerful Of Stimulants.
