"Mysticism heightens our creativity and helps us develop the greater sense of confidence that comes from knowing how to tap into our inner wisdom to find answers to life’s challenges. Mysticism is humanity’s deepest quest for Self Knowledge." Rosicrucian Manuscript

@lucifargundam I do not entirely follow. What exactly does "mysticism" mean, and how does it heighten creativity?

@admitsWrongIfProven

mys·ti·cism
/ˈmistəˌsiz(ə)m/
noun

belief that union with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or the spiritual apprehension of knowledge inaccessible to the intellect, may be attained through contemplation and self-surrender.
"St. Theresa's writings were part of the tradition of Christian mysticism"

belief characterized by self-delusion or dreamy confusion of thought, especially when based on the assumption of occult qualities or mysterious agencies.
"there is a hint of New Age mysticism in the show's title"

@lucifargundam I do not exactly do well with belief.
I seek gain through logic. It is inherently logic that freedom from suffering in the people close to me (everyone, in the time of the internet) is benefiting me.
I do not understand why any mysticism would be required, striving for freedom from pain is logical and in itself, enough. What else would we want?
