This paper analyzes the presence of a mystical intuition in the early poetry of Elsa Cross, particularly in the books Amor el más oscuro (1966) and La dama de la torre (1969–1970), written before the spiritual experience the author underwent in India that would later shape her work. Drawing on Evelyn Underhill’s reflections on mysticism, this study proposes that the search for an absolute truth...

Gardens abound in the Persian poetic imaginary and have been the site of symbolic overdetermination for more than a thousand years. Unlike the classical gardens of (other)wordly desire, however, there is a garden that resists domestication to the allegorical order: the stone garden is no self-contained utopia onto which our own longing for shelter from hostile forces can be projected. Instead,...

The subject of this study is omission as an intentional, culturally marked absence of a significant element within a mythological or ritual system, which is recognised by participants in the tradition and regulates access to names, knowledge, ritual experience and sacred boundaries. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the productive nature of such an absence as a means of organising...

This article examines how documentary film attempts to represent mystical experience through comparative analysis of Parviz Kimiavi's The Garden of Stones (1976) and American documentaries featuring Samuel Lewis, particularly Sunseed (1973). Rather than assuming terms like "sacred" or "authentic," the study grounds its analysis in empirical definitions from William James, historical scholarship...

Background Psilocybin-assisted therapy has shown robust antidepressant effects among individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD); however, mechanisms of the treatment remain unclear. Depression has been associated with diminished feelings of connectedness to oneself, others, and the world, and psilocybin is thought to facilitate connectedness. This analysis of an open-label trial of...

ABSTRACT Background Healthcare workers experienced amplified depression and burnout during COVID-19.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy occasions mystical experiences and their intensity often predicts therapeutic outcomes. Owing to their spiritual import, psychedelics have been linked to supernatural thinking, religions, and cults. Several authors within the psychedelic field argue these associations render the field scientifically and ethically questionable, with some calling for the ‘mystical...

Sufi aesthetics in the Mevlevi tradition and Mataram Court art illuminate a deep interconnection between spiritual consciousness and artistic expression, underscoring how mystical ideas are transformed into aesthetic experiences through sound, movement, and symbolism. The Mevlevi order, inspired by Jalal al-Din Rumi’s Mathnawi, embodies a synthesis of poetry, music, and ritual performance to...
