 Mysticism
But we cannot conclude by this sleight of hand that everyone following a code of conduct with rules against killing and stealing must be doing so out of concern for others (rather than some self-serving reason) and thus must be moral—the teachings and actions of the mystics must actually be examined closely.

 Amazon.com: Mysticism: Books: Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill joins many other writers of her time (and ours) in failing to appreciate the profundity of a successful mystical surrender: letting go of Everything, the ability to not be sure of anything.
But her analysis in the second part of the book of the soul's journey to God, beginning with purgation and continuing through to mystical unification, still remains one of the best single treatments going.

 Mysticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mysticism is often found in common with nondual worldviews and many mystics, from whichever religion or tradition they originally came, also describe in many ways a non-dual view of existence.
While mystics are generally members of some religious denomination, they typically go beyond specific religious perspectives or dogmas in their teachings, espousing an inclusive and universal perspective that rises above sectarian differences.
The term "mysticism" is also used in a pejorative sense in epistemology to refer to beliefs that cannot be justified empirically, and thus is considered irrational (Dictionary of Theories, Bothamley).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mysticism
Whatever may be thought of this classification, it is true that Mysticism has exercised a large influence on philosophy, becoming at times the basis of whole systems, but more often entering as an element into their constitution.
There is little of Mysticism in the first schools of Greek philosophy, but it already takes a large place in the system of Plato, e.g., in his theory of the world of ideas, of the origin of the world soul and the human soul, in his doctrine of recollection and intuition.
