Reviews"As an introductory insight into the world of mysticism and death, this book would well suit readers unfamiliar to the topic; being able to readily choose a direction of their interest. However, even a reader familiar with the area may be able to gain greater understanding, primarily by re-balancing their existing knowledge within a larger context, and thereby helping to shake off any academic astigmatisms or tunnel-vision which can sometimes develop with time." (Vladimir Dubaj, Australian Journal of Parapsychology, Vol. 17, December, 2017) "Death, Dying, and Mysticism offers a rich, multi-disciplinary perspective on physical death as a time of transformation, and examines the mystical loss of ego mentioned in various religious narratives on dying. ... A number of articles in this book explore death, grief, spiritual experience, and identity for various key thinkers, artists, and composers." (Dr. Lise Vail, RR Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, September, 2016) "The book is an interesting and diverse collection of essays analyzing the relationship of mysticism and death in a variety of disciplines. ... presents a challenge to our contemporary hermeneutic of interpreting both mysticism and death as one dimensional and universal. Cattoi and Moreman's edited collection reminds the reader that the numinous can be encountered in many different shapes and forms--even, and especially, in encounters with dying and death." (Candi K. Cann, Omega, Vol. 73 (2), 2016), "The book is an interesting and diverse collection of essays analyzing the relationship of mysticism and death in a variety of disciplines. ... presents a challenge to our contemporary hermeneutic of interpreting both mysticism and death as one dimensional and universal. Cattoi and Moreman's edited collection reminds the reader that the numinous can be encountered in many different shapes and forms--even, and especially, in encounters with dying and death." (Candi K. Cann, Omega, Vol. 73 (2), 2016) 'In this thoughtful, interdisciplinary, and integral compilation of essays, Cattoi and Moreman gracefully open our awareness to the mystical process of death and dying. Through so many perspectives, one grasps the spiritual evolution of the soul, with death and dying marking a final dissolution of egoic consciousness opening toward a 'boundless' dimension or unity consciousness and our original nature. Inspiring!' - Barbara Morrill, Chair, Integral Counseling Program, The California Institute of Integral Studies, USA 'Thomas Cattoi and Christopher Moreman have presented a striking overview of spiritual analyses and interpretations of the death and the dying process. While the diversity of the material in this volume is considerable, the unifying themes are the inevitability of death, even for those of us in contemporary culture who seek ways to deny it, and the ennobling capacity of the human spirit to embrace and sanctify life, even as it slips away, or perhaps, especially when it slips away.'

SynopsisThis volume offers a sample of reflections from scholars and practitioners on the theme of death and dying from scholars and practitioners, ranging from the Christian tradition to Hinduism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, while also touching on the themes of the afterlife and near-death experiences., Contemporary society tends to conceal death and the dying process from public view, seeking to erase them from our consciousness. This attitude of denial stands in great contrast to the approach of the great spiritual traditions of humanity, for which the dying process was an integral and often crucial part of our own spiritual practice. This volume offers a sample of reflections from scholars and practitioners on the theme of death and dying from scholars and practitioners, ranging from the Christian tradition to Hinduism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, while also touching on the themes of the afterlife and near-death experiences.
