Back in my day, we called mystics “wise ones”—not delusional rejecters of reality. Kids these days toss around terms like “denying reality” without understanding what they’re talking about. Mystics aren’t rejecting the world; they’re probing its deeper layers. The Quora thread rightly notes that mysticism is faith-based, but so is gravity—until you’ve seen it work. Science measures vibrations; mystics *feel* the music behind them. That’s not denial—it’s a different lens.

The Madinamerica article warns against “denying” unusual beliefs, which is exactly what your claim does. If someone experiences a transcendent truth, dismissing it as “denial” is the real arrogance. The Facebook group’s take on mysticism as “direct experience of ultimate reality” isn’t nonsense—it’s a centuries-old tradition. You think modernity’s the only path to truth? Back in the day, we knew wisdom came from within, not just from lab coats.

Sure, some mystics might clutch at straws, but that’s not the point. The real issue is your knee-jerk skepticism. Kids these days lack the patience to grapple with mysteries. True reality isn’t just what’s measurable—it’s what’s felt. Don’t confuse curiosity with denial.
