Mystical Studies And How They Work Today


By Charles Kelly


Mystics can trace their roots to the most ancient of religions, many of which can have a surviving tradition, sect or denomination. A lot of methods for worship come also come from these and may be found in traditions, customs or cultural mores in a country who had them. In one sense, the virtues in these are founded on the rituals or ceremonies that they used.

It is mostly lost today, but it has become so much a part of cultures that the consciousness of a people merely practices them as natural. Mystical studies are partly sectarian impetus, and partly the search for those lost connections to the ancient sense of the divine. Human memories are short, and conflict can have erased the connections from tribal memory.

The shaman worship were in widespread practice, a worship that was truly animistic, about physical survival. The things worshipped were animals and trees, and churches and other religions have denounced these as barbaric. One custom was about having kings who were treated like divinities, although when his hair first turns white, he will immediately be killed on a ceremonial field.

The sacrifice ceremony of a king on agricultural land was for fertilizing it, so that it will be fruitful. His blood, once the most powerful of beings, can satisfy gods of earth and will inspire them to make the land bountiful. After problems in agriculture were solved, they were less needed and a new kind of mystical concern replaced it.

This was more about philosophy, deeper views of the cosmos, and it was first promoted during the rise of Jews or even earlier. The philosophers who became mystics would later found powerful religions now formally established today. They were instrumental in creating schools and the academe, inspiring the rise of arts, culture, and science and technology and the like.

More formal study on mystic records can also be very academic, an area where theologians and sociologists may study. These will have sanitized records that fit ideas on higher learning or consciousness that are attested to by axial religions. These are those that were founded on a thousand year timeline that transformed humanity, including Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

Practices considered base are often seen as throwback behavior embedded in racial memory, and these can include herd violence. But then, there is really no proved connection to the religions accused of being their cause. These studies will be those whose aim is to look for those elements of these practices that operate or are active deep in modern cultures.

The most cardinal of sins for the church, often connected to domestic practice or social mores that are weird but accepted. In these studies these could be the threads that lead to the darker history of former things which supposedly died natural deaths. Axial religions supposedly eradicated these but that is improbable when human ancestry is infected by them.

Most of the relevant studies here can be based on systems that are for cleanliness and contemplation. The vows can include penitence or abstinence, although the studies are mostly secular in nature and will continue shedding light into the darker corners of human history. This can aim to accomplish a very high sense of what is divine in the heart of humanity.
