Theological Mysticism

Theological mysticism is the pursuit of direct, personal experience of the divine or ultimate reality beyond ordinary understanding. It involves practices like prayer, meditation, or contemplation to deepen the connection with God or the sacred. Mystics seek to transcend intellectual knowledge, aiming for an experiential union or harmony with the divine, often describing insights that go beyond words. This approach emphasizes inner transformation and the ineffable nature of spiritual truth, recognizing that true understanding of the divine may surpass rational explanation and be felt through an inner, spiritual encounter.
