　　Mysticism is believing in a direct, personal experience of God or ultimate reality. It often involves meditation or prayer.** Mystics seek a deeper understanding** of the universe and their place in it.

　　

　　Mystics are 'Seekers'.

　　

　　A door cracks open just a little bit. A ray of light emerges. You see only the briefest of glimpse of the source. You don't know what you saw or even how to begin to understand it. It will probably never happen again. It is ineffable - you cannot explain it. But you saw it. You remember the experience for the rest of your life. You know in your heart of hearts that it exists and that it is Important and worth pursuing.

　　

　　You try to explain it to others, but no one understands you. What light? What is it?

　　

"Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

　　Do you hear the music?
