Nature Mysticism

"Nature Mysticism" by J. Edward Mercer is a book that examines how people connect with nature on a spiritual level. It suggests that there’s a new type of mysticism growing, one that focuses on real experiences in nature instead of complicated, abstract ideas. Mercer believes it’s important to combine our feelings about nature with our logical understanding of it, bridging the gap between our minds and the world around us. The book aims to show how we can find a deeper connection to nature by using both our emotions and our reason, differing from older mystical ideas that turn away from the physical world, in order to embrace a more intuitive and sensory experience.
