Underhill outlines the foundational purpose of her work, which is to connect the timeless experiences of spirituality with contemporary human consciousness. She acknowledges an important shift in understanding spirituality, advocating for a practical approach that relates to everyday life rather than merely focusing on historical mysticism.
