Famous Quotes about mysticism

Baba Tunde Ojo-Olubiyo famous quote #61

The Truth Is That I Was Recognized For Stubbornness And Not Goodness. Even Though I Was Very Intelligent And Sent To School By A Little Few Supports From Sponsors And My Mother. My Brain Was Never Ever Cool. Due To All The Mistakes I Saw From A Very Tender Age From All Those Whom I Looked Upon As Elders And Shinning Examples. Although They Where Some Good Examples Which Still Live On. Still The Early Damaged As Already Been Done. So It Led Me Dropping Out Of School In To Working And Using The Great Ancient Vedic Philosophies I Have Been Hearing From The Very Beginning Of My Conception In My Mother Womb Till The Day I Was Born And Forever. I Used Them All To Materialize Many Of My Dreams And Practice Mysticism Coupled With Spiritualism To Keep My Self Secured And Keep Cool Depending On God.

Teresa of Ávila quote #71 from The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself

I used unexpectedly to experience a consciousness of the presence of God or such a kind that I could not possibly doubt that He was within me or that I was wholly engulfed in Him. This was in no sense a vision I believe it is called mystical theology. The soul is suspended in such a way that it seems to be completely outside itself. The will loves the memory I think is almost lost while the understanding I believe thought it is not lost does not reasonI mean that it does not work but is amazed at the extent of all it can understand for God wills it to realize that it understands nothing of what His Majesty represents to it.
