The study of human consciousness and its relationship to our lives and needs ahs aroused a great deal of interest in today's world. This interest extends into many areas of religion, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and literature. Part of this trend is a renewed interest in mysticism, most of which has been directed toward Oriental mysticism. However, many people are unaware of the rich and vital mystical tradition Western culture has to offer. The purpose of this bibliography is to help create a deeper awareness of Western mysticism. From the preface.

A renewed interest in the spiritual, with an increasing number of people today wishing to incorporate the contemplative in their active lives, prompts the reissue of this classic work, a doctrine that is at once elevated and practical. The writings are meant to be studied from three distinct points of view: religious philosophy, material for the study of those states between mind and body such as ecstasy and trance, and for the sake of their mysticism. Drawn from the writings and teachings of Saint Augustine, Saint Gregory and Saint Bernard, the writings form a coordinated body of doctrine with what three great teachers of mystical theology in the Western Church have written concerning their own religious experience and the theories they based on it. In addition, the book discusses such important topics as speculative contemplation, what mysticism is, the characteristics of Western mysticism, the practical, and the contrasts between the contemplative and active lives. No student of mysticism can possibly afford to neglect a volume so full of valuable suggestions and real insight into spiritual conditions.

A truly modern path to the spirit as described by the author of this book does not imply alienation from the demands and requirements of everyday life, but rather enhances man’s ability to live that life more fully, earnestly and fruitfully. This development follows certain definite steps which have as their preliminary goal the harmonizing and balancing of the inner life in terms of objective, ultimate reality. Beyond this, the path opens out to a still higher attainment, culminating in that sublime, conscious oneness with the divine, described in writings of those men and women who have attained at least a first experience of this highest of all goals. This book was written in order to open before us the prospect of this goal, to outline at least the first steps on the path leading to it, and to introduce us to some of the human beings who have achieved noteworthy results in this quest, particularly in the Western World. In simple, straightforward language he outlines the ideals and practice of the spiritual life from the standpoint of the man of the West as he is today, a description entirely free of asceticism and the restrictions of theological dogma.

Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however, scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations. It also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together if either is to be understood fully. Including contributions by leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This Handbook serves as both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of future research.
