The silent cry

Peter Hancock finds much to appreciate in a book on mysticism

by Peter Hancock 8th December 2017

The mystic, I believe, is not a special kind of person; but every person is a special kind of mystic. Some people often suspect that mysticism is for weirdoes. On the whole the conventional churches of every faith do not like it, for it takes its authority not from church theology or hireling priests but from the individual’s deepest inner experience.
