"As the works to which we address our attentions were written, in relatively recent times, by members of our own culture, in our own languages, they have a unique ability to have an appropriate spiritual impact on Western individuals."  

"The central, organizing spiritual work of the Blaketashi Darwish is William Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which is sometimes referred to as ‘The Mathnavi in English.’"

 An excellent on-line version of Marriage can be found at: http://www.levity.com/alchemy/blake_ma.html     

Much more can also be found on Blake's written and visual works at the IATH site, which also contains excellent reference materials on many other poets as well.  "As a research unit of the University of Virginia, IATH's goal is to explore and expand the potential of information technology as a tool for humanities research."  It may be accessed at: http://www.blakearchive.org/ .

For a variety of very interesting essays on "the intersection of art, science and the spiritual," one may refer to the Mike King homepage, which may be found at: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mr.king/writings/ .  Some specific points on the mysticism of Whitman can be found 'deeper' at this site at: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mr.king/writings/essays/kwns/w3.html

A very thorough archive of Whitman's written works, biographical information, and photographic images may be found, at: www.whitmanarchive.org, also an IATH site.
