Being a mystic is a lifelong process of learning and deep contemplation, often avoiding strict doctrines and principles. Mystics value experiences above all else and engage in deep contemplation, meditation, and spiritual practices to gain insight and understanding. Symbols play a crucial role in mysticism by transcending language barriers and communicating universal truths that resonate with people across different cultures.
A mystic may be a yogi, dervishes of Turkey, or a nun living a monastic life of prayer. Ancient and Hellenistic philosophers offered examples of the extrasensory reality, such as Pythagoras’ numbers and mathematical formulas. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, used “watching” to observe the contents of consciousness in a Christian mystical technique.
Some instruments of torture, like the rack, were real, while others were likely made up to perpetuate the myth of the medieval “Dark Ages”. Inflicting injuries upon themselves and each other, mystics probed their deepest fears and explot them. Today’s execution methods and torture have nothing on the ancient world.
