Put another way, since you seem to cautiously step
back to what might be mystic, which is fine and dandy
on your part, nothing wrong with such an approach.  I
don't really know where the "too mystical" comment
comes from on your part though.

I am sorry if I gave the impression that I seem to "cautiously step back"
from mysticism. I had hoped to make it clear that I thumb my nose, turn my
back and walk away from it.

At a philosophy club meeting in Boston last week the topic was naturalism
and mysticism. It was interesting because the naturalists seem agreeable to
the idea that mystics have meaningful personal experiences and the mystics
seemed to agree that these experiences probably offer nothing definitive to
say about the nature of reality. Even I could buy that. There are no doubt
very nice health benefits to be obtained from martial arts, yoga and tai chi
exercises. I don't doubt for a second that meditation and relaxation have a
positive impact on mental health. But the same can be said about tennis and
speaking in tongues.

I'll set it up this way to help you understand. 
You can ask, "What is Quality?" or "Is this Quality?"
and the answer is situational, depends on what your
referring to.  Your get a static answer, but the
question remains into the next situation/experience. 

[Krimel]
Well, in a word, no. If you ask "Is this Quality?" you get a situational
answer. If you ask "What is Quality?" You get, "Mu."

My point was that the first question can be answered the second can't.

Haven't met anybody that knew everything.

I offered up a quote not long ago. I forget exactly how it went and where I
got it but it went something like: "It is not possible to know everything
about anything but it is possible to know more about anything."
