We are living in an age when mysticism is again vogue. It is not the first time, but it appears in a culture whenever there is a disillusionment with reason, as has been true since the ninetieth century. Religion is now defined by experience not by factual information. In our present times, there is a giving up of the aspiration for classical truth and a focus for many on emotional experiences defined as mystic. This podcast discusses the difference between mysticism, an experience driven by emotions, and mystery, an overwhelming puzzlement over reality driven by our observations of that reality, which may have emotional repercussions.
