"I can only agree with Aldous Huxley when he writes in Grey Eminence (1943): “By the end of the seventeenth century, mysticism has lost its old significance in Christianity and is more than half dead. `Well, what of it?' may be asked. `Why shouldn't it die? What use is it when it's alive?'The answer to these questions is that where there is no vision, the people perish; and that, if those who are the salt of the earth lose their savour, there is nothing to keep that earth disinfected, nothing to prevent it from falling into complete decay. The mystics are channels through which a little knowledge of reality filters down into our human universe of ignorance and illusion. A totally unmystical world would be a world totally blind and insane". C.G.Jung.
