It is late enough to post the answers to the mysticism quiz: The discipline of disinterested devotion to duty that Krishna recommends is called Karma Yoga. Zen Buddhists seek Satori. The Sephiroth represent ten aspects or attributes of the Godhead, in a matrix of relations with one another. The Pilgrim's prayer ends:"a miserable sinner". Dervishes are devotees of Sufism, and whirl, dance, and chant devotional phrases to achieve religious ecstasy. The highest state of meditation in yoga is called samadhi. Although the sage does not stir, all things come to him. The wisdom of God is personified as the Shekinah. Sufism is the primary mystical sect of Islam. The Society of Friends, or Quakers, depends upon the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to move layman to speak up in meetings.
