First published in 1967, The Diary of a Mystic is Edward Thornton's remarkable spiritual autobiography. A self-educated Yorkshire businessman turned mystic, Thornton recounts his journey from humble beginnings to profound spiritual exploration. Introduced to the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and the Ramakrishna tradition, he embraced meditation during the war, delving into dreams and visions. Post-war, he rebuilt his life, studying under Carl Jung for four years, offering unique insights into Jung's mysticism and Eastern philosophies like Hinduism, Yoga, and Taoism. With a foreword by Professor C. A. Meier, this inspiring work bridges Indian mysticism and Christian belief, affirming that "Truth is One, only the stages call it by different names." A must-read for students of Jung and mysticism.
