As an old clergyman I knew once said, regarding mysticism : "Just look at the word! It starts with mist and ends with schism."Lightkeeper said:Have you studied any of the Christian Mystics? If so, what do you think of their experiences? Tell us about their experiences.
Hildegard of Bingen (von Bingen, if you want to be all German about it).FeathersinHair said:Also Hildegard... I can never remember her last name.
Yes this is very true. I think us mystics all agree that God is without form, infinite, eternal, incomprensible.Master Vigil said:All mystics agree that god is beyond owrds and ideas, (taoism? I think so) and therefore the bible cannot touch on divine in any way.

So do I. In a theistic sense at least. I could call myself a taoist panentheist, but eclectic mystic is easier.Master Vigil said:I have yes, just did a paper on it. And at the core of all Mystics, christian or not, I find taoism.
