True Christianity has nothing to do with mysticism (i'm aware of how ludicris that may sound to some)
Well seems as how the bible is full of mysticism I would say that is rather ludicris. I also got these definitions from a few different sites.
Mysticism is concerned with the nature of reality, the individual's struggle to attain a clear vision of reality, and the transformation of
consciousness that accompanies such vision.
"Mysticism, according to its historical and psychological definitions, is the direct intuition or experience of God; and a mystic is a person who
has, to a greater or less degree, such a direct experience -- one whose religion and life are centered, not merely on an accepted belief or practice,
but on that which the person regards as first hand personal knowledge."
Christians believe that God wishes to dwell in the hearts of all men and women, and Christian mysticism is a mysterious experience of that
presence.The Christian saints and scholars have also called this experience infused contemplation, a loving knowledge of God that wells up from the
depths of the soul.
In theory, yes. The Christian mystical life is the normal and natural development of the Christian life of prayer. It is the flowering of the virtues
of faith, hope and charity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit that every Christian has in virtue of his or her baptism.
All mysticism in every major religion on earth is about the one reality that once directly experienced completely changes a person's understanding of
the nature of all existence: That is, directly experiencing the souls true nature in God. Please understand that this relationship can be directly
experienced but also understand that this relationship is something that cannot be made totally real in our lives until it is directly experienced.
