Exploring Mysticism and the Mystical Journey (1)

The mystic quest for understanding human purpose is the subject of this 12-part series. Several spiritual leaders talk about their explorations into the mystery of mysticism. People’s spiritual needs have been expressed through the centuries across the essential religious experiences of human kind. Mystics traveling on a mystical journey are found at the center of every single spiritual tradition. In their exploration of mysticism, each mystic discovers that it lies at the heart of their own spiritual tradition, and then they describe it in terms of a universal human experience.
Mystical journeys are at the heart of all religions, but can also be experienced outside of a specific religious tradition. By following the mystical path and looking at the mystery within mysticism, each mystic finds deep experiential answers. As mystics pay attention to the mystery, their consciousness is transformed and they enter a deep state of mystical knowing. This mystical experience that the mystic has cannot be explained in words, so to understand what mysticism is you need to understand the experience yourself. It goes beyond any cultural differences. People who travel on the mystical journey tend to describe the same experiences regardless of their culture.
Mysticism is the direct inner experience of divinity, or truth, that we discover within ourselves. The mystical journey leads us through the interior life, opening us to a center point where we can have mystical communion, or spiritual awakening.

Fine points... " the core of religious faith is that mystic feeling which unites man with God. This state of spiritual communion can be brought about and maintained by means of meditation and prayer." ~ Shoghi Effendi Baha'i Faith

I learn about philosophy, science, theology, neurology, and psychology both in college and by myself and all arrows seem to point in this direction.

To be a mystic is to have experiences of the ineffable.

I agree Brenda. These are blind guides!! Keeping souls searching until it’s too late.

[@andrewortiz9226]

mysticism is the core of all faith traditions: And that is having an experience with God!! I'm Christian but I've had some powerful spiritual experinces with God just by being Still!! Also ive had a vision before that led me to Christ!! the sad thing is that most fundementalist religious people look down on people who have these experinces!! I guess they are so dead and miserable that they want others to be dead and miserable!!
