Is there a book that discusses mystical divine union from various Traditions from a non-dual viewpoint?

good thread

Honestly it will be fun to see /lit/ users hop on those, kek. Those would be some interesting threads

Coomaraswamy wrote an essay about them as well. I forget the name of it though, sorry

Nah it (for me at least, though I have heard other opinions on it) represents the immanent aspect of the Divine, as can be represented in these natural symbols of it. For example, the swirlling symbol (which I assume is what you are refering to with the pedaphilla, but that is a modern use of it) represents underlying unity in multiplicity, in a similar way that the rainbow does.

This 100%, he was by far the most new agey of the 'Perennialists', a term he himself is more closley associated with than others I feel. Although there is very little written on Native American Tradition outside of what he wrote, which is a shame imo

>o basically, foster a kind of detachment and disinterest towards current events and issues by pushing people towards spirituality i.e. exploring "other" worlds (whether within or beyond) rather than focusing on this one.
This is likley a major reason

I find him excellent. I particularly enjoyed his 'History of Religous Ideas' series, and his sourcebook 'From Primatives to Zen' (though it is frustrating he did not include Christian and Jewish sources). I heard he very good in the studies of shamanism, but iv never read any of his books devoted to that subject
