Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

Mysticism has become an obscure term in our modern society. It is often misunderstood as astrological knowledge or some supernatural ability. In reality, mysticism is the quality that differentiates spiritual teachers like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and the Dalai Lama from the rest of us. This course will introduce both the Eastern and Western traditions of mystic teachings and the cultivation of the mystical experience. We will explore the idea of the mystical experience as a basis for dialogue among world religions. We will try to understand how the mystical experience provides meaning to personal actions and examine the role of religion in developing an everyday mysticism for the working man and woman.
