Mysticism Experience Response And Empowerment - Jess Hollenback

This Sweeping Study Of Mysticism By Jess Hollenback Considers The Writings And Experiences Of A Broad Range Of Traditional Religious Mystics, Including Teresa Of Avila, Black Elk, And Gopi Krishna. It Also Makes Use Of A Category Of Sources That More Traditional Scholars Have Almost Entirely Ignored, Namely, The Autobiographies And Writings Of Contemporary Clairvoyants, Mediums, And Out-of-body Travelers. This Study Contributes To The Current Debate About The Contextuality Of Mysticism By Presenting Evidence That Not Only Are The Mystics Interpretations Of And Responses To Experiences Culturally And Historically Conditioned, But Historical Context And Cultural Environment Decisively Shape Both The Perceptual And Affective Content Of The Mystics Experience As Well.hollenback Also Explores The Linkage Between The Mystics Practice Of Recollection And The Onset Of Other Unusual Or Supernormal Manifestations Such As Photisms, The Ability To See Auras, Telepathic Sensitivity, Clairvoyance, And Out-of-body Experiences.
