We are,  if not rich and not being able to earn enough money, to tend to transcend toward anywhere our mind could stay in serenity. Mysticism is a means to console our mind.  But if a mysticism is a kind of such tendency, it is not a real mysticism. Because most of such mysticism is disguise of fear and desire.  They are similar in looking after another power instead of everyday life power they can't get.

Only after we lose something, we find what we had.

If someone says that intelligence is empty, you must not be eager to knowledge, then I want to be doubtful on this someone. Because when a person is about to say something, he is already in the world filled with words. He doesn't escape from words. And he pretends to be outside the words. If someone asked me what I lost, then I believe in this someone. Because all what I need is what I had lost one or some day.

Loving

Our mind is meager to richness even if it is not to be of money. We are to desire other's love. To want other's love is driving force of our life. But do I love my self so intensely ? I certainly want love, but what is love ? Is it an action to learn about as E.From named it once ? Or is it an passion in which we are soaked entirely ? Maybe we can't determine whether it's action or passion. I can only feel a bit of passion, without which action will be empty.

 Ordinarily one may think the mysticism as an attitude or thinking toward something transcendent that is invisible or unthinkable.  

 But when we read some writers who advocate mysticism, we can not help seeing that they also tell a story which use in words or thought of every day life. Of course you are capable to cite the Bible which uses the words of everyday life, so it may not matter to tell in such a word. 

Using the words in everyday life, however, is somehow unreliable.  Because a lot of people have been deceived by swindlers due to their words which are easy to understand. Recently even those con men themselves used to say that there are swindlers in this secular society. In short they become very skillful to use words consciously or unconsciously. 

In order to distinguish those conscious or unconscious frauds, it is necessary to work one's common sense. For example, Sai Baba is famous for his extreme ability to transcend this world and tells people to have love and secret of love, it seems itself very sane or worth listening to, but his word is liable to accept  the class society of India.  

So we can see he is not a cultured man. I'm just kidding, they who believe in him may say so, but even if Sai Baba transcends this world in the level of nature, he can not transcend this world in the level of society, so we must think he is not a real transcendent man, he is only a man who sells dreams to people.  

Philosophy seems to overcome the so called mystic at this point. For even if it may concern the transcendence, it do so with an anchor at the depth of this daily life. As Hegel said the conscience is a knowledge of the totality, philosophy remains on the horizon of total life which consists of various things from marvelous to mesery, from reason to emotion, from thinking to praxis.  

We also find some mystics which will use scientific thought to claim their justification. Though they don't have any serious discoveries of science, they make temselves seem to be more important than others. But they would choke themselves to death, since the knowledge of science is getting more and more expanded to opened area, while they insist on the last knowledge of religion, last word of mysticism to the eternity.

So they will happen to know that knowledge of science they had once appealed will be out of fashion after a hundred of years will have passed.  

So we want to get mysticism which would stand up to the philosophy or common sense. There are a few, I think. And those tranquille mystics never advocate some power in louder voice. They would almost whisper and say nothing except a few simple words. They would not try to use words of every day life to make them accepted easily, nor to use scientific knowledge to add to its value.  

I want to know such a mysticism.
