Overview

Mysticism can arguably be defined as a worldview which holds that intuition is always important and reasoning is always suspect, though this may be an oversimplification. (Any better definitions out there?)

One corollary of this is that an idea which is understandable is generally given more creedence than an idea which is complicated, even if the latter is verifiably true; for this reason, mystical ideas are often quite successful memes, as they are easily absorbed.
