Building on Underhill's statement, Emilie Griffin asserts (albeit quietly, by her particular gift of understatement) that this ''art of union'' in not an end but a beautiful product of the seeker's journey to become intimately acquainted with a loving God. By this strain of logic, mysticism is given, not earned or learned. Yet all are called to prayer; all posse...
