In Mysticism…
knowledge cannot be separated from a certain way of life which becomes its living manifestation.
To acquire mystical knowledge means to undergo a transformation.
One could even say that the knowledge is the transformation.
Scientific knowledge, on the other hand, can often stay abstract and theoretical.
Thus most of today’s physicists do not seem to realize the philosophical, cultural and spiritual implications of their theories.
