Abstract: The vast majority of modern Western scholars agree that, despite differences across cultures and religious traditions, "mystical experience" can be described in light of two important categories, namely "extrovertive" and "introvertive" mystical experiences. The former emphasizes the sense of ineffability and transcendence, and the latter accentuates the role of immanent sensory...

Within this framework, Kazi Nazrul Islam reconfigures devotional expression through a sensuous and psychologically nuanced poetic idiom.

What does the entanglement...

In contrast to organically driven models of distress and disease, psychoanalysis shows that psychotic symptoms tell a story that cannot otherwise be told. The roots of madness are best understood in relation to the intergenerational transmission of trauma that impedes development in spite of otherwise good parenting. Such data invite us to consider ‘madness’ as a socially constructed...

W. B. Yeats is a lyric poet. His poetry has a celtic flavour often tinged with mysticism and melancholy. The early poetry of Yeats is steeped in the spirit of the rich mystic mythology of the Celtic race, but later he turned from pleasant lyrics to verse with sterner discipline and deeper thought. Yeats' obscurity enriches his poems rather than impoverishing it. Sometimes he indulges in...

This article reconceptualizes malāmat not as a marginal Sufi discipline but as a distinct ethical paradigm that redefines the relationship between selfhood, action, and moral legitimacy. Situating the discussion within late-modern conditions shaped by technological mediation, algorithmic evaluation, and regimes of visibility, it argues that ethical value has increasingly been externalized...

This essay offers a creative and psychologically grounded dialogue between Carl Gustav Jung and Hazrat Inayat Khan, the early 20th-century Indian Sufi mystic and musician who brought Chishti Sufi mysticism to the West. While Jung is well known for engaging Christianity, Gnosticism, and Eastern religions, Islam—particularly its mystical dimension—has remained underexplored in Jungian psychology....
