The mystics exploit your fear of relying on your mind by positing a higher form of knowledge: supernatural (the mystics of the spirit) or skeptical (the mystics of muscle).

They claim to perceive a reality exempt from the law of identity, in order to make their wishes -- their whims -- absolutes.

There is no honest revolt against reason. The motive is always to indulge one's emotions, and the effect is always to subvert one's ability to grasp reality.

The mystics seek to evade the law of causality -- which is the law of identity applied to action -- in order to gain values without effort and justify their demand for unearned love, admiration, wealth.

Since there is no actual escape from identity and causality, from the need to think and produce in order to create values, the producers are expected to pay for the default of the irrational.
