Mysticism
The direct experience of the Sacred beyond the boundaries of any single tradition — the inner core shared by Sufi poets, Hindu sages, Christian contemplatives, and Kabbalist mystics.
🌱 Where to Begin
Mysticism is the experiential heart behind all religion. Start with Aldous Huxley's "The Perennial Philosophy" for the cross-tradition view. Then choose one contemplative practice — any tradition — and go deep. Breadth is the invitation; depth is the door.
