What do you think is wrong with mysticism?
Please note. For the purposes of this thread, mysticism in this context refers to only
the mystical experience and not to such things as the paranormal, crystals, etc.

And now for some fun....
Mysticism that is too general, can be a problem, because it may lack focus on things that are specifically beneficial. Now, this can be apples and oranges, however I prefer delineation, here, since I actually do believe in things that you might be calling paranormal, [presumably...
So, a very general mysticism, with nothing else, not very beneficial in my perspective, and, the paranormal or supernatural is also a feature that I find very useful to actually focus on. Though I don't use either of those words, to describe Theism, or the nature of the universe, or even how one would perceive that. It brings up the question, how can something perceived even be 'paranormal', as the perception of such, [[things you might consider magic, esoterica, so forth, suggests they are not outside the 'normal'.
In gnostic type approach, if one accepts that there might , even be, different entities involved, personally want delineation , there.
That is where traditional religious ideas, [gnosticism, differentiating good from bad Beings, so forth, is basically necessary, if one wants fo derive a more specific belief system. Or parallel such specifics to existing beliefs.

That being said, 'general mysticism,' is utilized heavily, because, to put it basically, one doesn't want to make a mistake. Hence, general mysticism is a guideline for delineation, however really, this goes back to delineation. 'General mysticism' thusly always being, in actuality, in a context of delineation.
