Résumé

"Mysticism Across Cultures: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas" is a richly woven exploration of mystical thought and practice from around the globe. This accessible yet thorough guide unpacks the foundations of mysticism, examining its universal patterns as well as its culturally distinct expressions. By defining mysticism, distinguishing it from organized religion, and investigating its roots and relevance, the book provides readers with a nuanced understanding of why mystical experiences continue to captivate people across different eras and societies.
Organized thematically and geographically, the book journeys through major mystical traditions of the West, India, East Asia, and indigenous cultures. Each chapter highlights influential ideas and practices, from Sufi poetry and Zen meditation to Native American vision quests and African spiritual systems. The text also delves into the practices-meditation, prayer, ritual, and creativity-that make mystical states accessible, and examines the intersection of mysticism with science, psychology, and modern well-being research.
Concluding with pragmatic guidance, the book offers readers inspiration for integrating mystical principles into daily life, whether through personal practice, ethical transformation, or creative expression. The final chapters synthesize the "big ideas" of mysticism-unity, self-discovery, love, and the quest for transformation-demonstrating their enduring power to shape both individuals and communities.
Ideal as both an introduction and a resource for ongoing study, "Mysticism Across Cultures" invites all readers to explore the profound wisdom at the heart of the world's mystical traditions.
