Union & Isolation
Andrew Cort
This presentation will explore, at a very summarized level, some of the mystical teachings of the Anglo / Catholic Mystic, Evelyn Underhill. It will particularly focus on the profound impact of deep Mystical / Spiritual experience that can lead to the equally profound spiritual isolation, the so called “Dark night of the soul”.
This brief exploration will consider some of the key elements of Evelyn’s seminal work Mysticism. A comparison is drawn from contemporary studies and the presenter’s personal experiences and journey during his life.
