This segment concludes the course. We end where we began, that is, in the world. The whole point of mysticism is not that we become otherworldly, but rather this-worldly. Dom Chapman, the famed Benedictine monk, said it well when he wrote, "If you need to know how you are doing, look to the charity of your life." We can translate this as meaning that the mystic does not escape the world, but rather embraces it.

The mystic lives in the concrete world and is keenly aware of the interconnection between all things; the earth is sacred ground. Thus, a mystic like St. Francis of Assisi walked barefoot out of reverence for the ground upon which he walked. Karl Rahner wrote that the future belongs to the mystics, and that on some level we are all called to be mystics. In this sense, he taught that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; instead, we...
