APC of NY - Members: Foster talks much about the Club and its dominance by the 'analysts.'
Commentary by David J. Hufford.
1 The world was flooded with light. Reminiscence. A glimpse of the center. Meditation. 2 Commentary: mystical experience in the modern world. 3 Postscript
This book is composed of two interconnected essays. The first is Genevieve Foster's account of a mystical vision that came to her unexpected and uninvited....The second essay, by David J. Hufford, comprises an introduction to the present state of knowledge about mystical experience generally, and a discussion of Mrs. Foster's experience in particular. [He] relates [it] to other types of experiences in which a nonphysical being is felt to be present and explores the cultural biases that today make the communication of these profound experiences so difficult and so rare.'
