Underhill's goal is to guide her readers on a journey toward mystical consciousness, to teach them to see the \"eternal beauty beyond and beneath apparent ruthlessness.\"\u003ci\u003e Abba, \u003c\/i\u003e first published in 1940, takes as its starting point the seven phrases of the Lord's Prayer, using them as a means to propel the self toward union with God.
