What have Mystics been trying to tell us?
A session with Ken Ing
In 1945, Aldus Huxley published “The Perennial Philosophy”. He had observed that most major religions had a mystical “tradition”. The core doctrines of these religions did not overlap very much, but the mystics associated with these religions had a lot of overlap in how they described their mystical experiences. Huxley tried to discern what these testaments from mystics had in common. Subsequently, other philosophers and academics have offered their own analysis of what this “perennial” philosophy consists of. In this talk, we will explore what the Mystics from the various religions and other sources have been trying to tell us.
