Evelyn Underhill (6 December 1875 – 15 June 1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic poet and novelist as well as a pacifist and mystic. An only child, she described her early mystical insights as “abrupt experiences of the peaceful, undifferentiated plane of reality—like the 'still desert' of the mystic—in which there was no multiplicity nor need of explanation“. The meaning of these experiences became a lifelong quest for understanding and integration and inspired in her much writing and contemplation. This reading is a short selection of pointings taken from the text, 'Mysticism'.
