Mysticism, with its emphasis on direct, personal experience of the divine, serves as a powerful bridge between different religious philosophies. By transcending the boundaries of dogma and doctrine, mysticism highlights the shared human quest for spiritual realization.

Bridging over Similarity in Transcendence

Contemplatives from many spiritual paths share concerns and report such experiences as a unification with the creator, unity of all humanity, and feelings of serenity and compassion. Exploration of these categories elicits results that give a shared welfare that goes past religion.

Beyond Literal Interpretation

Religious enthusiasts are less likely to involve in the relationship between the signs and the referents than in the relationship between figures of speech and their corresponding concepts. It provides an insight into the spiritual realities concerning, while playing down the issues of doctrinariansm.

Focus on Inner Experience

Speculative disciplines include practices that alter the individual’s internal environment and seek communion: meditation, prayer, contemplation. Therefore if the mystics aim at the enhancement of the spiritual self in a person the differences in race, gender, color etc can be diminished and they can relate well to the humanness in everyone.

INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE AND AREA OF LEARNING

Mystics play important roles as agents of contact between the different religions. Interfaith couples do this by embracing and creating awareness on their experience as well as detailing their discoveries regarding the removal of any barriers between the various religions as well as fostering understanding between the two.

Some cases of using Mystical Bridge-Building
Sufism and Hinduism: Both traditions teach compassion, loyalty and unity of all people. Hindu mystics also provide inspiration sources to Sufi saints.
-The comparison: The matter of concern shared between Christianity Mysticism and Buddhism is the mind, meditation and pursuit of the divine.
Kabbalah and Hermeticism are also the Jewish and Western speculation systems that share elements of divine power, cycles of the universe, transmutation of the human being.

Though, of course, mysticism cannot exclude anything that distinguishes one religion from another; at the same time, it may, perhaps, be one of the most valuable methods for explaining how every religion is an inherent human feature of spirituality and how it might open the way to better people’s understanding, perception, and cooperation because of shared humanity and a common divine gift.
