"Faith of the Free"

[uufreespirit]

,

-- Can a humanist or an atheist be a mystic as well? Does mysticism require a supernatural faith? Where does mysticism fit into the liberal mode of religious faith...into modern-day Unitarian Universalism? I've been thinking about starting an area for discussions along these lines for a while now.

-- If you folks would like to discuss this topic, I welcome that opportunity! To "prime the pump" a little I suggest internet searches using terms like "unitarian mystic," "universalist mystic," "atheist mystics," "humanist mystics," "naturalistic mysticism," etc. There are a number of websites devoted to such things, including some interesting UU sermons (which I plan to browse as time permits).

-- Come and join me, won't you, as we explore the "mystical side" of our rationalistic, humanistic religious heritage!
