Marks delves into the nature of mystical experiences, exploring the relationship between mysticism and religious traditions, as well as the psychological and physiological aspects of these experiences. He also examines the role that ecstasy plays in mystical experiences, and how it can be both a source of spiritual insight and a potential danger to the individual.Throughout the book, Marks draws on a wide range of sources, including mystical texts, personal accounts, and scientific research, to provide a comprehensive overview of mysticism and ecstasy.
