\n \n

\n In 19 45\, Aldus Huxley published "The Perennial Philoso phy". He had observed that most major religions ha d a mystical "tradition". The core doctrines of th ese religions did not overlap very much\, but the mystics associated with these religions had a lot of overlap in how they described their mystical ex periences. Huxley tried to discern what these test aments from mystics had in common. Subsequently\, other philosophers and academics have offered thei r own analysis of what this "perennial" philosophy consists of. In this talk\, we will explore what the Mystics from the various religions and other s ources have been trying to tell us.
