Austic Mystics

Post Reply New Topic

There were three threads on this topic about a year ago that were all sabotaged by garbage posts lead by the Strident Atheists; however, since the SA's have been quiet lately, (and seem to have mostly gone away(thank God)), I thought it might be worth trying again; of course, the newer atheists could, and probably will, also sabotage it but it is worth a shot.

Mysticism is all about getting inside yourself and connecting, or uniting, with absolute reality which could be a name for God (if you believe in one) or the universe if you don't. Since autistic people spend a lot (if not most) of their time inside themselves, it seems to me that we would have an advantage.

So, any mystics around these days?

If by "Mystics" you mean "Rationalists", then there seem to be many self-proclaimed "Mystics" on WP.

But if by "Mystics" you mean someone who has repeatedly and consistently demonstrated paranormal abilities to anyone other than him- or her-self, then there seems to not be a single one anywhere in existence, and especially not on WP.

Don't worry, even if the Strident Atheists are no longer around, I'm sure I can handle it.

NobelCynic may not be a Mystic, but he clearly is a prophet!

I guess before I could answer your question, I would have to know what you mean by "mystic" exactly. The terminology you use is pretty vague.

However, I certainly spend a lot of time thinking about religion and philosophy, among other things.
