Practical Mysticism
Summary
In Practical Mysticism, Evelyn Underhill distills the essential (and comprehensible) steps that comprise the process of achieving mystical understanding. Though she uses the pantheon of Christian mystics as her guide, her methodology transcends any particular faith and offers a common sense approach to self-improvement and enhanced awareness.

The Cloud of Unknowing
Summary
The little family of mystical treatises that is known to students as “the Cloud of Unknowing group” deserves more attention than it has hitherto received from English lovers of mysticism, for it represents the first expression in our own tongue of that great mystic tradition of the Christian Neoplatonists that gathered up, remade, and “salted with Christ's salt” all that was best in the spiritual wisdom of the ancient world.

The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-Day
Summary
This audiobook has been called The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-Day in order to emphasize as much as possible the practical, here-and-now nature of its subject and especially to combat the idea that the spiritual life - or the mystic life, as its more intense manifestations are sometimes called - is to be regarded as primarily a matter of history. It is not. It is a matter of biology. Though we cannot disregard history in our study of it, that history will only be valuable to us insofar as we keep tight hold on its direct connection with the present, its immediate bearing on our own lives. This we shall do only insofar as we realize the unity of all the higher experiences of the race. In fact, were I called upon to choose a motto that should express the central notion of these chapters, that motto would be: "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." This declaration I would interpret in the widest possible sense; as suggesting the underlying harmony and single inspiration of all man's various and apparently conflicting expressions of his instinct for fullness of life. For we shall not be able to make order, in any hopeful sense, of the tangle of material that is before us until we have subdued it to this ruling thought: seen one transcendent object toward which all our twisting pathways run, with one impulsion pressing us toward it.
