Overview

The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today, was written by English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist Evelyn Underhill was originally published in 1920. The book was called The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day in order to emphasize as much as possible the practical, here-and-now nature of its subject; and specially to combat the idea that the spiritual life-or the mystic life, as its more intense manifestations are sometimes called-is to be regarded as primarily a matter of history. It is not. It is a matter of biology. Though we cannot disregard history in our study of it, that history will only be valuable to us in so far as we keep tight hold on its direct connection with the present, its immediate bearing on our own lives: and this we shall do only in so far as we realize the unity of all the higher experiences of humanity.
