<Of course we have five senses with which we gather the data to interpret our environment--i.e. reality.>

Was there a point?? I made a specific point to Solid.

<As to what about "all the mystics"...THAT was my question to you.>

But there are reams written about this stuff... much more succinct than I could be.

<I do believe that they are based on mythical premises rather than science>

But there WAS no science then. In some respects any piece of information passed on could be considered "myth"... which is fine by me, but you use it as a purjorative term which religates such connection to the "ignore" bin.

<I don't know of any responsible objective scholar who would challenge the well evidenced fact that the Jesus portrayed in the bible is a composite mythical figure.>

Again you digress from the point... his teachings AND experiences (whether "composite and mythical" or not) have been (many say) verified through history by other 'mystics' with essentially the same message. So is the message worth anything or not?? I would think you'd want to know.
