But, true mysticism that lets you know God in His character of grace is worth a life of devotion. No truth = no God. Truth = know God by experience, rather than intellect only.

No truth = no God.

Coming from a family of evangalist Christians whose hearts were filled with hatred, I found this article to be healing. I consider myself a mystic and, in the true nature of the word, a Protest-ant...meaning I am about the evolution of human beings by moving beyond our current ways of looking at things. My real dream is for Protestant, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Native, and so on to become united under the understanding of the unity in our diversity. As our nation's motto states, "E Pluribus Unim." why do we parrot statements such as this and not live up to them. E Pluribus Unim, in the many is one. This is wonderful.

May your class in mysticism flourish! Never before have I felt so sad to be at this great distance from Atlanta.

May your class in mysticism flourish!

As for Emerson and Thoreau, they are just two of the many wonderful figures who are not included in this class, due to lack of time. I could do an entire series just on the Quaker mystics or the Anglican mystics — or, as you suggest, the Transcendentalists. Hopefully the class will be a success and I'll have the opportunity to do others in the future.

Anyway after the class you could run a series on your blog highlighting what you learned/taught? Read and even printed out your post from the other day. fascinating topic that is not discussed very often. Thank you. I wish I were closer to attend this.

And how about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau (Transcendentalist / Unitarian)? George MacDonald was a Universalist (theologically, anyway, if not denominationally).
