Abstract: Mysticism, "the experience of God," and theology, "the knowledge of God," are both expressions of one symbiosis. This paper characterizes mysticism, debunks objections to it, and explores a Bahá'í context through the Four and Seven Valleys. Notes: Paper presented to the Irfán Colloquium, Louhelen Bahá'í School, Davison, Michigan, October 2000. |
