Mysticism = seeking direct revelatory contact with God. Jesus did it. The word is the 'medium' for vicarious access to spiritual, heavenly realms.
More mature means more mature than me. Because our God is a consuming fire. Jesus is the High Priest. I'm the Prodigal journeying home. Mysticism is a trap, a supposed shortcut. Look what it did to Watchman Nee.
Mysticism packaged and sold to the masses has been unremittingly awful. I won't get into specifics, and there may have been some blessings, but there's an awful lot of yuck. No thanks.
What spirit is behind group shouting of Witness Lee slogans? No thank you.
