Reapproaching the Mystical Experience

Another paper I wrote lately taking further the concept of “Demystify-Remystify”. Based on a chapter on mysticism in a book I was reading for my masters program in transformational psychology, this paper explores the concept of demystifying reality in overcoming spiritualism with a scientific (materialist) approach, and overcoming materialism with openness toward the mystic experience.

  Our dilemma on the planet at this time, in it's most simplified form is a lack of emotional connection to each other and the earth -- and a lack of consciousness... Ordinary means are insufficient to derail the cultural momentum toward global catastrophe. If there is a way out of this mess we find ourselves in - it will be a humdinger... This is a longshot. But those of you -- psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, poets, artists, students of the human condition -- you know, or you should know that the well-springs of creativity are the source of the waters of life. And if we can make this operational in the lives of more and more people, we will find the wherewithal to form the kinds of community that must be formed if we are to gently, gently back away from the truly apocalyptic dilemma that our lack of consciousness has dropped in our laps.
