Excerpts from Practical Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill

"The visionary is a mystic when his vision mediates to him an actuality beyond the reach of the senses."

"None is condemned, save by his own pride, sloth or perversity, to the horrors of that which Blake called 'single vision'- perpetual and undivided attention to the continuous cinematograph performance, which the mind has conspired with the senses to interpose between ourselves and the living world."

"...man dwells...in a world of imagination rather than a world of facts; ...the universe in which he lives and at which he looks is but a construction which the mind has made from some few among the wealth of materials at its disposal."
