Mysticism
Obscurity of doctrine.
The doctrine of the Mystics, who professed a pure, sublime, and wholly disinterested devotion, and maintained that they had direct intercourse with the divine Spirit, and aquired a knowledge of God and of spiritual things unattainable by the natural intellect, and such as can not be analyzed or explained.
The doctrine that the ultimate elements or principles of knowledge or belief are gained by an act or process akin to feeling or faith.

Mysticism Quotations
Mysticism is the mistake of an accidental and individual symbol for an universal one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.
Salvador Dali
What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.
Elie Wiesel
Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.
Henri Bergson
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Mysticism and exaggeration go together. A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight.
Milan Kundera
I love mysticism - it's such fun.
Jerry Hall
Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
There is a kind of mysticism to writing.
Irvine Welsh
Racial history is therefore natural history and the mysticism of the soul at one and the same time; but the history of the religion of the blood, conversely, is the great world story of the rise and downfall of peoples, their heroes and thinkers, their inventors and artists.
Alfred Rosenberg
