Christian mystics have pursued a threefold path in their pursuit of holiness. They can be characterized as purgative, illuminative, and unitive, corresponding to body, soul (or mind), and spirit. (Wikipedia, Christian Mysticism)
What is the true path to God? All of those. Every heart which earnestly asks is shown. Each is given a hearfelt Truth. COME TO ME ALONG THE PATH OF YOUR HEART, NOT THROUGH A JOURNEY OF YOUR MIND. You will never find Me in your mind. (Conversation, p94)
Even on the Path to God, All is God - You are freed from your own desires only when God frees you. This is not effected by your own exertion, but by the grace of God. First he brings forth in you the desire to attain this goal. Then he opens to you the gate of repentance. Then you continue to strive and ... pride yourself upon your efforts, thinking that you are advancing or achieving something; but afterward you fall into despair and feel no joy. Then you know your work is not pure but tainted, you repent of acts of devotion which you had thought were your own, and perceive that they were done by God's grace and that you were guilty of polytheism in attributing them to your own exertion... God opens to you the gate of love. It is God who loves you and keeps you in the state of loving...Then God opens to you the gate of unity, and causes you to know that all action depends on God Almighty. Hereupon you perceive that all is God, and all is by him... First, action is necessary, then knowledge, in order that you may know that you know nothing and are no one. This is not easy to know. It is a thing that cannot be rightly learned by instruction. It is the gift of God. (Islam, Wisdom, p324)
Hinduism has yoga as its pathway into deeper experience, or "enlightenment" and Buddhism has zen. Christianity has always had its own enlightened persons, known as "mystics." (Contemplation, back cover)
