Mysticism in World Religions

Mysticism is concerned with the nature of reality, the individual's struggle to attain a clear vision of reality, and the transformation of consciousness that accompanies such vision. This site explores the mystical traditions of six religions by comparing and contrasting quotations drawn from their respective literatures. These quotations have been organized by topic as seen below. Because I didn't want to bias the presentation by using terminology unique to a particular religion, I have tried to come up with broad, descriptive names for the topics. [top]

 

Summaries of World Religions

Small entries giving the basics of the world's religions are provided. These would be useful for small collaborative learning opportunities.[top]
