Without mysticism, there would be no motive to drive science, as Einstein would put it, we would be as good as dead. In fact he knew of no scientist who was without it. Look around you; much of what you see has been imagined for us by us. I think it reasonable to assume that which was not, has been imagined for us also. I doubt imagination to be exclusive to us, but rather it works on a faster scale through grey matter, to which time does matter. Time and space, the product of expansion created through the brakes being applied to infinity, a collision of a dream world, where everything happens at once. Slowed down to the speed of light by dark energy, made to matter by dark matter, known to scientists as the almighty ghost, written about in scriptures. Science will one day make believers of us all. I guess. There may be a living father/fathers of mankind, but all are aspects of the one God, better known in the earliest scriptures as Brahman. Eternal, complete in itself, thus no need to act. Such Gods would have the greatest imagination for it. I guess. I need to go, nice talking with you. Good night!

Imagination isn't mysticism on its own, it requires spiritual/religious products of thought. Science and imagination certainly co-exist, however mysticism does not. If I may provide you a thought exercise to ponder with your next visit; I would state that the entire universe is a layer system that overlaps itself in various scales. Take a moment to cross-reference our creations with the universe's infratructure, then tell me if you don't see a pattern between the major city's powerlines, roads and organisms, and our body's cells, the passageways of which the cells travel through and the information that surges through us in milliseconds. The universe may not be as complex as we originally thought. It reveals its patterns in broad daylight, but it does require you to observe it at the right angle.

This statement might reflect the idea that while we possess knowledge and seek understanding, we often find ourselves more confused than enlightened. Knowledge tends to raise more questions than it answers, revealing our limitations rather than our clarity. Spiritual beings, in contrast, are imagined to transcend these confounding factors by envisioning possibilities far beyond our usual grasp.

Imagination plays a crucial role in this process. Without it, we would be unable to perceive or construct the knowledge that helps us explore and understand the universe. Whether we call it the “word of God” or any other concept, the ability to imagine allows us to transcend our immediate distortions and gain new perspectives. In this sense, imagination helps us navigate the complexities and gain clearer insights, even if we are not inherently spiritual beings.
