Mysticism Elements of mysticism are present in many religions and philosophies. Some mystics claim that there is a common thread of influence in all mystic philosophies that is traceable back to a shared source. The Vedic tradition is inherently mystic. Many mystical philosophies thus exhibit a strong tendency towards syncretism. Examples of major traditions and philosophies with strong elements of mysticism are Vedantic Hinduism, Tibetan and Zen Buddhism, the Christian Gnostic sect(s), the Eastern Orthodox hesychasm, the Sufi school of Islam, the Judaic Kabbalah and many aspects of the New Age movement. Quakerism also has a strong mystical element to its theology. The 19th Century saw an increase of interest in Mysticism linked to an interest in Occultism and Eastern Thought. Major figures in this movement were Madame Blavatsky and Gurdjieff. See Theosophy for more information on this movement which had a later influence on the New Age. Some examples of Hindu mystics: Andal Shankara Lalleshvari Mirabai Sri Ramakrishna Ramana Maharshi Gopi Krishna Some Christian mystics are: St. John the Apostle Clement of Alexandria, St. Augustine of Hippo St. Gregory I St. Anselm St. Hildegard of Bingen Hugh of Saint Victor St. John of the Cross St. Teresa of Avila St. Bridget of Sweden St. Gregory Palamas Meister Eckhart Margery Kempe Julian of Norwich Sir Thomas Browne Mechtild of Magdeburg William Blake Thomas Merton Sarah Wight Examples of Muslim mystics (also called sufi) are al-Ghazali, (d. 1111) al Hallaj (d. 922) Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Hafiz, Sadi Yunus Emre Examples of Jewish mystics Shimon bar Yochai (c.200 AD ) Abraham ben Samuel Abulafia (1240-1291) Moses ben Shem Tob de Leon (1250-1305) Isaac Luria (1534-1572) Moses Chaim Luzzato (1707-1746) Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) Abraham Isaac Kook (1864-1935) Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994) Other mystics: Rufus Jones (Quakerism) Sage Starwalker (Goddess Mystic) |
