Mysticism and Its Social Implications

In all the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamic tradition of mysticism, it is core that each individual of us becomes one with God, reconciling with others and nature as well as with herself/himself broken up into object and subject, and gets into absolute equality and great freedom, thus rooting out all sorts of unequal power relationship, even though there are a variety of differences in terms of language and symbol, practice and ritual, belief and doctrine, and the like. Such an essential core is embodied and then only any mysticism of traditions is classified into a pure-self-regaining type. And other mysticisms, which delude the world and deceive people in such ways of making particular mystical experiences absolute, are all categorized into a pure-self-deserting type. Since collective identity capable of breaking away all the causal bondage of domination and subordination can be formed, insofar as personal emancipation from the mundane greed and attachment for having is achieved, this paper says that mysticisms of pure-self-regaining type might be one of the most compelling forces able to build a new society in which everyone becomes freedom to everyone.
