Best Answer

being divine Mysticism is the direct, personal experience of the Divine, usually through a lifetime of ascetic exercise and meditation. Some religions encourage mysticism - Zen Buddhism, for example - but it is troublesome in revealed religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam because the mystical experience lies outside the control of the authorities and the account of the experience given by the mystic is often difficult or impossible to reconcile with authorized dogma.
