MYSTICISM, NATURE AND MORALITY

Those who seek the true meaning of existence  are likely to ponder the real mystery of life.

What is Mysticism?

What is mysticism? Some believe there is such a thing while others do not. Modern  Positivists and naturalists have denied this by their utter indifference. While certain philosophers such as Hobbes, Hume, Comte and Bentham had virtually no taste for mysticism, the greatest astronomers and scientists throughout the ages such as  Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein had all shown deep concern over the imp- onderable mysticism.

Mysticism is  what are beyond secular human comprehension, above human intelligence and it triumphs over logic and human reasoning or rationalization. It is and can only be understood as some claim by experience and not by experiment. Such a description  of mysticism is not accepted by all and the general understanding of it is that it is contrary to what is natural. Mysticism is incompatible with enlightenment and should have no place in an age of progress and science. Some go so far as to condemn mysticism simply as illusion, fantasy, and even superstition embraced by feeble-minded weaklings, misfits, or escapists.
