The
author is a rationalist and a sceptic. But from childhood
onwards he has experienced another reality. In this book, he has
tried to balance realistic logic and spiritual revelation, as
two equally important processes.
Mystikos means 'mystery' and refers to a long-established Greek
mystery philosophy and spiritual practice. The mystery of
existence, especially the mystical sense itself, need not and
should not be made into a certainty.
Human
behaviour is what matters, not belief systems, and 'Mystikos'
suggests ways of being open and loving. Accepting the mystery of
life without inventing certainties means being free and
well-disposed towards others.
'Mystikos'
is an inclusive concept, cherishing the oneness of all life.
Mystical experience is a widespread gift that may be shared
without dogma.
Nothing is certain except the need for awareness of, and
affection for, each other.
