Eps: 140 | Guest, Clint Sabom: Mystical Experiences, Monastery Life, and the Stages of Contemplative Spirituality

September 26, 2018

A powerful and largely ineffable mystic experience happened to Clint Sabom as a young man and in the years following it, he slowly began to process and integrate it into a richer spiritual life and understanding. Today I speak with him about what happened and the process of spiritual growth.

He spent a half a year at a monastery and today we will talk about how unique experience as well as the "stages of mysticism" in historical Christian Spirituality as researched and written about by Evelyn Underhill (originally from the time of early Christianity in the age of John Cassian (c. 360 CE, Scythia Minor) - the first to bring the ideas and practices monasticism and the contemplative life to the early medieval West)
