> so, as long as you're being mystical in a western religious sort of way, it's ok?
"Woo-woo" mysticism would have to be defined as anything one doesn't subscribe to personally - cause the mystical can, per definition, not be proven or refuted - only experienced. You gotta be 'woo-woo' enough to try for mystical experience though - to pray, meditate, fast, trek for months on end, spend a long time in solitude or do peyote. What you get out of it is pretty hard to pin down though. Dangerous territory here:-)
I like Descarte's mystical revelation regarding the 'mechanical universe', btw - an angel comes down to him and tells him that the world can be known through measurement and form. You gotta love the magnificent rascality of nature in that.
