 +"It has been said that "[[Mysticism]] finds in [[Plato]] all its texts," and certainly most of [[Christian mysticism]] may be traced back to the [[Neo-Platonists]]. From their time to our own we find this tendency towards a theologia mystica appearing in one form or another, -whether it be in the secret traditions of the Jewish [[Cabala]]-in the preaching of [[Eckhart]] in the fourteenth century-in the revival of Neo-Platonism at Florence in the days of [[Cosmo de Medici]]-in the science of [[sympathies]] taught by [[Agrippa]] and [[Paracelsus]] - in [[Jacob Behmen]]'s celestial visions-or in [[Saint Teresa]]'s "four degrees" of prayer necessary to reach a perfect "[[quietism]]."--''[[Plato (Clifton Wilbraham Collins)|Plato]]'' (1874) by Clifton Wilbraham Collins

-Not everyone listed here is [[Christian]] or a [[mysticism|mystic]], but all have contributed to the Christian understanding of, connection to and/or direct experience of [[God]].+'''Christian mysticism''' refers to [[mysticism|mystical practices and theory]] within [[Christianity]]. Mysticism is not so much a doctrine as a method of thought. It has often been connected to [[mystical theology]], especially in the [[Catholic Church]] (including traditions from both the [[Latin Church]] and the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]]) and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]] and [[Oriental Orthodoxy]].

"It has been said that "Mysticism finds in Plato all its texts," and certainly most of Christian mysticism may be traced back to the Neo-Platonists. From their time to our own we find this tendency towards a theologia mystica appearing in one form or another, -whether it be in the secret traditions of the Jewish Cabala-in the preaching of Eckhart in the fourteenth century-in the revival of Neo-Platonism at Florence in the days of Cosmo de Medici-in the science of sympathies taught by Agrippa and Paracelsus - in Jacob Behmen's celestial visions-or in Saint Teresa's "four degrees" of prayer necessary to reach a perfect "quietism."--Plato (1874) by Clifton Wilbraham Collins

Featured:

Christian mysticism refers to mystical practices and theory within Christianity. Mysticism is not so much a doctrine as a method of thought. It has often been connected to mystical theology, especially in the Catholic Church (including traditions from both the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches) and Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy.
