Mysticism, Thick and Thin
Is There a Jewish Philosophy? March 1, 1999 Leon Roth
Everyone can sense the divine, not just a select few. The chapter argues that the classical mystical experience—marked by a sense of rightness, mental enlargement, conceiving the inconceivable, sudden joy, and sustained satisfaction—is common to all people in some degree. It queries whether this greatest prize is denied to most and concludes it is not, suggesting we are all mystics without needing to be contentious.
