Mystical / Mysticism:
The terms “mystical” and “mysticism,” which cannot be passed over in silence here, lend themselves readily to misuse by being applied to everything inward or intuitive at whatever level. In reality these words denote all inward contact (other than the purely mental), with realities that are directly or indirectly Divine; and it is only right that they should suggest above all a spirituality of love because they are European terms and Europe is Christian. Their association with the idea of the “irrational” is clearly false; spiritual intuition is not irrational but suprarational. In any case, it seems to us that the only legitimate meaning one can give to the word “mystical” is, first, that traditionally given to it by theology and, second, the meaning proposed above, which compels acceptance by extension, or rather by considerations of etymology; this usage clearly cannot be associated with ill-intentioned attempts to devalue the word or with cases of simple misuse of language. Mysticism: The word ‘mysticism’ denotes anything that refers in one way or another to a supra-rational communication with Divinity; since this word is European it must of necessity coincide with the mode of spirituality known in the West, which is a way of love. The word is, however, often used to designate, either a way that is without a method properly so called or one that is characterized by a predominance of a moralistic and sentimental individualism. It may be added that in German the word Mystik has the meaning of spirituality whereas Mystizismus means only a play of fantasies, and that in French Mystique refers to true and Mysticisme refers to false mysticism. The theological definition of ‘mystical states’ is doubtless too extrinsic, and this is explained by the fact that the way of love is nurtured on faith and asceticism and not on intellection, and is centered on grace and not on knowledge.
