The mystic gains knowledge through contemplating the teachings of all humanity across the ages and cross-referencing it with actual experience. Developing a personal philosophy based on the most lofty thinking coherent with the knowledge gained as well as the contemplation on experiences. The mystic endeavours to understand the natural and spiritual laws behind the observed experiences. As the mystic enters within to connect with the Divine, and expands to connect with and serve other people he begins to live in accord with spiritual and natural laws. The mystic becomes attuned to new insights coming through meditation and contemplation of how to refine his perception and live according with higher order laws.
