The neuroscience of meditative practice has attracted considerable attention, in part because it represents a unique juxtaposition of Western scientific practice and Eastern mystical tradition. Beyond cultural interest, however, lies the question of whether such study has clinical/therapeutic

High external locus of control and readiness to conjure and believe in mystical powers has a potential in disrupting the growing small and medium enterprises in Uganda. If small business operators abdicate their responsibilities to mystical powers, it will worsen the current low survival rate of start-up businesses. In this study, we use a multilevel Rasch Rating Scale models to estimate a...

Stein is honored today not only because of her sainthood but because of what is now seen as important and groundbreaking work in phenomenology done under especially arduous conditions. Thus it may be said with some accuracy that Stein is, among philosophers, in the comparatively rare category of being acknowledged both for her work and her exemplary life. Writing on Stein has standardly...

The paper analyses eschatological motifs in a few poems from Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī’s Dīvān. In them the poet integrates two seemingly disparate, perhaps antagonistic themes: the historicity of the Last Judgement, the end of all times, and the fundamental ahistoricity of the mystical experience. Rūmī handles the motif of the Resurrection and the Last Judgement as a poetic topos or as an allegory of...

It argues that Jung and Dorn identify the experience of the ground with the experience of divinity as the common originary source of individual and totality. It notes the monistic and pantheistic implications of the experience and goes on to amplify the experience...

When most people think of Cambridge, Massachusetts, they probably think about the prominent institutions of higher education located there and imagine it as among the most secular places in North America.

This is the first book about the origins of a culture war that began in early modern Europe and continues to this day: the debate between kabbalists and their critics on the nature of Judaism and the meaning of religious tradition. From its medieval beginnings as an esoteric form of Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah spread throughout the early modern world and became a central feature of Jewish life....
Medieval Mystical Theology August 19, 2011 David Lewin 8 citations
The recurring narrative of the relinquishment of human will animates the spiritual discourses of almost every mystical tradition. But contemporary discussions of spirituality gravitate towards exasperation when acknowledging the radical impotence of human agents, while much modern philosophy has found itself unable to think beyond the aporia of freedom and determinism.The ability to mediate...
