“Mysticism is the spiritual encounter with a sacred mystery that cannot be put into words, but may be embodied through feelings, conscious awareness, experience, or intuition — or even through darkness or unknowing.“ - Carl McColman

my go-to definition, that comfortably dismisses much the nonsense that often gets caught up in ‘woo’, is “experiences that cannot be articulated by the part of the mind that can only understand experiences by articulating them”

We just lack the mental capacity, the frameworks, the language, the ease of articulation, and the consistency of evidence to make it philosophically coherent and scientifically grounded.
But we will get there.

Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilssonx.comI don’t actually care that you even know about the chakras. I do care that you remember your wholeness. I don’t care if you’re woo or not. I do care that you are moving in a way that creates a life you want to be living as the person you are.
