This thesis is supported through a comparative analysis of Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen (rdzogs-chen) and the medieval German mysticism of Eckhart, Suso, and Tauler. These traditions are interpreted using a system/cybernetic model of consciousness. This model provides a theoretical framework for assessing the cognitive effects of mystical doctrines and practices and showing how different doctrines and practices may nevertheless initiate common transformative processes. This systems approach contributes to current philosophical discourse on mysticism by (1) making possible a precise analysis of the cognitive effects of mystical doctrines and practices, and (2) reconciling mystical heterogeneity with the essential unity of mystical traditions. 410 0$aStudies in the history of religions ;$v107. 606 $aMysticism$vComparative studies 606 $aMysticism$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region 606 $aMysticism$zGermany 615 0$aMysticism 615 0$aMysticism 615 0$aMysticism 676 $a248.2/2/094309023 700 $aStudstill$b Randall$01517205 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784188603321 996 $aThe unity of mystical traditions$93754113 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01049nas 2200373 c 450 001 9910893447403321 005 20171201123505.0 011 $a1612-1996 035 $a(CKB)5280000000192708 035 $a(OCoLC)723874633 035 $a(OCoLC)705295569 035 $a(DE-101)989892239 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2442647-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)995280000000192708 100 $a20080805a20039999 |y | 101 0 $ager 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aIGA-Report$fInitiative Gesundheit und Arbeit 210 31$aBerlin$cAOK-Bundesverband$d2003- 210 21$aEssen$cBKK Bundesverband und Hauptverband der Gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaft$d1.2003 - 25.2014 215 $aOnline-Ressource 311 08$a1612-1988 608 $aMonografische Reihe$2gnd-content 676 $a610 801 0$b0354 801 1$bDE-101 801 2$b9999 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910893447403321 996 $aIGA-Report$94235534 997 $aUNINA
