Hi mystics and antimystics,
It sometimes seems that nobody ever refers back to any posting more than
3 days old:-.
I think that the following extract from my contribution of 16/12/98 is
particularly
relevant:-
>Mysticism etymologically means that something is HIDDEN. It strikes me
>that "hidden" is an ambiguous word. There is an "objective" hidden,
>where something is intrinsically unknowable. There is a subjective
>hidden where the "subject" just hasn't yet found or noticed the hidden
>"object". It seems that philosophical mysticism refers to the first
>hidden (unknowable), while rationalism recognises the second
>(things hidden till we find them)...
Teher's been very little said the current round on Mysticism that wasn't
already said back in December.
I suggest it would be a good idea for all of us to go through the
archive from time to time.
