“A person who only believes in the “tangible” or that which can be tested has put his “intangible” faith in the one doing the testing.” ~magick
If you have ever looked upon a dead body, a person who was once “alive,” vibrant, and full of energy, a unique personality, and see that that part no longer exists, you will “know” there is more to life than what is physical.
The very nature of life and death are mystical. These intangible realities cannot be seen, heard, or felt in the physical sense, but they exist. In life, there exists that which cannot be held in your hand, or measured, or scientifically tested for thier existence; things like belief, friendship, and love.
As humankind continues to evolve, what once was “mystical” has become science. Just because we cannot comprehend something, does not invalidate its existence.
Science is full of incomprehensible “mysteries,” which remain “hidden,” until someone comprehends. Mysticism holds its place, not among superstition, myth and Jehovah’s Witnesses, but at the far extreme of mental states. The evolution of science depends on the minds of great visionaries, or “mystics.” Man needs spiritualism, just as man needs the spirit or energy of life. It takes spiritualism to develop scientifically, or science would be a dead corpse.
Mystic knowledge is what science has labeled “insight,” it is knowledge that seemingly comes from no where, a momentary flash of inspiration, creativity or understanding. This “insight” is not based on trial-and-error, or scientific testing, it springs forth from the unconscious to the conscious.
Instead of dismissing “mystical” ideas as metaparticles, cymatics, the human genome, remote viewing, the Fibonacci sequence or even crop circles, science has embraced these mysteries as stepping stones towards the higher science, truth.
