Items related to Inner Eye of Love: Mysticism and Religion
The Inner Eye of Love offers a contemporary theology of mysticism that locates it at the very center of authentic religious experience. It provides as well a practical guide for meditation even as it maps out the oceanic experience toward which meditation points. Johnston begins with the mystical tradition itself, its roots and origins, its appearance and significance in the Gospels, the letters of Paul, and the early Church. He explains what mysticism is and is not, and how it is inextricably bound up with love. It is at the level of mysticism, he maintains, that the two traditions of East and West can at last understand one another and begin to work together to heal a broken world. The Inner Eye of Love escorts the reader through the stages of the mystical journey, from initial call to final enlightenment. Johnston compares and contrasts the Oriental and Christian experience, continually revealing new points of commonality The much discussed "dark night of the soul" is seen here in a positive way, as an emptying preliminary to the overbrimming of the soul with the knowledge and love of God. Finally, the author considers the often misunderstood relation between mysticism and practical action.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Reprint. 208 pages, bibliography, index. The author, an Irish Jesuit who lives in Tokyo and is already internationally famous as a student and interpreter of Zen and other forms of Buddhism, has written as general introduction to Mysticism and religion. He shows that the aim in the self-discipline of his Buddhist friends in Japan, or in the teachings of Jesus and Paul, is to journey through nothingness to enlightenment and union, resulting in a new quality of life which he calls ' mystical action'. And everywhere, in every age, the key thought is that we need a deeper love for ourselves, for our fellow men, and for the one we seek. Mystical knowledge is, he has found, nothing other than the Inner eye of love. a second-hand copy, age darkening of the page edges, and on the dedication page there is a gift note.
