| | Mysticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | '''Mysticism''' (ancient Greek mysticon = secret) is meditation, prayer, or theology focused on the direct experience of union with divinity, God, or Ultimate Reality; or the belief that such experience is a genuine and important source of knowledge. |
 | | This causes the subjectivist tendency of Mysticism to be curtailed, as experiences not aligned with truths otherwise known are discarded. |
 | | Christian mystics, too, are obligated to obey the forms of ascetical and moral theology, as following Christ is their primary objective, rather than seeking mystical experiences for their own sake. |
