"Intersectional Mysticism And The Single Woman"?
Actually with regard to mystical nostrils and Star Trek, I would recommend checking out Klingon Poetry. Nothing like reading the inflected "nostrils-scattered-all-over-the place" expressed in only two words.

I"M not....but I have Delaney's "The Einstein Intersection" next to "The Complete Romanced of Chretien de Troyes,' next to Christian.Fackler, Mckee, Dreshel and Woods "Media Ethics" between Bonnet's "Stealing Fire from the Gods" and Bennet Cerfs' Treasury of Atrocious Puns."
Does that count?

Yes, it is most cromulent.
Bennet Cerfs' Treasury of Atrocious Puns sounds like it would be promising in regards to mysticism. (Are the puns truly atrocious? Do they make you say **doh!?**)

I'll let you decide. Opening the thing at random (page 47) I found this:
Lawyer: Did you say the plantiff was shot in the woods, Doctor:
Doctor: I did not. I said he was shot ins the lumbar region.
The other puns on the page were worse.
(Can they BE worse?)
Oh, wait. this was on the previous page:
The instructor of a Freshman English course ordered his students to write a paper about folks in high society.One co-ed's paper began with a bang: "The Duchess of Dowdy was descending a staircase in the palace when she tripped, fell, and lay prostitute on the floor." The instructor circled the incorrect word and penciled this comment in the margin: "Dear Mess Sherwood: You must learn to distinguish between a fallen woman and one who has merely temporarily lost her balance."
So yeah, I guess 'doh' would be an appropriate response, muttered with a deeply felt groan.
(sigh)
On the other hand, it also included THIS gem:
What happens, demands Arthur Madsen, to teachers who retire? They lose their principals. And to principals who retire? They lose their faculties. And to professional basketball players who retire? Nothing. They just go on dribbling.
I wonder if my copy of 'Media Ethics" would make me smile more?
The Atrocious Puns are great for mystic training! I'd put it right up there with Miller's Analogies.

There is nothing mystical about my Higher Conscious Oneness Enlightenment. It is very scientific.

Yeah, I think that they are at least as effective as the average koan....

I found one for you!
One of those currently popular Indian gurus hops around a great deal more than his fellow contemplators. That's why he's known as the Kan Guru.
...........er, sorry about that.
I am now. What's in it?
Detailed calculations of oneness as a function of astral plane.

Tried but couldn’t think of
any word that rhymes with nostril.
All that I could think of
was two words together: lost drill.
