Byron Gogol's "Dutton" remark suggests a search for that term
in this journal. That search, and tonight's previous post, suggest
a passage on magic and mysticism published by Dutton in 1911 —
"The fundamental difference between the two is this:
magic wants to get, mysticism wants to give […]
In mysticism the will is united with the emotions in
an impassioned desire to transcend the sense-world
in order that the self may be joined by love to
the one eternal and ultimate Object of love […]
In magic, the will unites with the intellect in an
impassioned desire for supersensible knowledge.
This is the intellectual, aggressive, and scientific
temperament trying to extend its field of consciousness
[…] (Underhill 84; see also 178ff.)"
The reference above is to Underhill, Evelyn:
Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development
of Man’s Spiritual Consciousness.
New York: Dutton, 1911.
