| The following
essay on " Mysticism, Nature, and Morality " was written several years
ago. The author is, at present, unable to recall the exact year of the production, but he
does remember that it was written shortly after he heard a stirring lecture on mysticism
from a visiting professor at the University of Washington. The author might have written the essay in any event, but the lecture he
heard had definitely the effect of hastening his action in putting together his thoughts
on the subject and in crystallizing them in written form. The author remembers that
the essey was written in one sitting and without any labour of research or the assistance
of notes of any kind. It is largely a work of intuition and personal assessment of a
rather uncommon but vitally significant subject. |
