Herein lies the germ of all \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eart and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man.\u003c\/em\u003e - Albert Einstein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor millennia, mystics' explorations of reality were considered a religious quest. This changed during the Victorian era, when researchers began redefining mystical experiences as psychological phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo longer strictly religious, mystical experiences came to be seen as grounded in anomalous perceptions, involving experiences or events that provide a breakthrough from our everyday view of reality to another more insightful level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith Hill proposes that anomalous experiences lie at the heart of the new mysticism. In this illuminating study, he examines the historical and cultural developments that have contributed to a radical shift in mystical practice. He also weighs what is required for the fostering of what Einstein called \"mystical wonderment\" to be sustained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith Hill is a New Zealand writer whose work explores the boundaries between mysticism, history, science, religion and psychology.
