When Underhill speaks of purifying the senses, the language she uses reminds me strongly of the Rinzai school of Zen practice. Very, very similar ways of stating hte case for direct perception of reality. Which is what mysticism is all about. In fact it's the most pragmatic, no-nonsense, non-filtered way of confronting reality there is.
