What is the nature of mysticism?

[esa888]

I have enjoyed your conversations about this subject, It it a fascinating one.
through experiences i have had, i came to religion,to help me understand them.

I have read various texts about the mystical mindset, as you know it is found in all different religions. To explaine the nature of it, is in a way futile, as its not of the intellect, it is beyond but i would say :-

It is when a subject becomes emersed in spirit connection with the whole, and the self becomes as nothing, this can happen to ordinary people if the conditions allow.

Now i am new around here so i am not going to speak about things that have happened to me, and project some foolish idea`s to you, i am still learning, and am not at all advanced in this subject, but to become open, one must in my experience, simplify and unlearn things to get down to a harmonious state.

There are many ways people use to do this, any tradition can work, it depends only on you.

 

[Iacchus]

What is mysticism? It is all about the space between our ears. In fact, we are all mystics, we just don't know it. Either that or, we are "legends" in our own minds. Hence, when it comes to die, we are off to oblivion. So, one would think that reality would provide us with a more substantial basis for us to think. Otherwise "we" are entirely disconnected. We don't know anything outside of what consciousness knows, and our bodies may just as well not be there if we didn't. Consciousness is all we have in that regard.
