If you are a Christian mystic usually you are not also a fundamentalist of any kind at the same time. It would be really hard to be both because of "Progressive Revelation" and "God is where you find him, her, it"
Or "If an ant is your Guru, feed him."
All these concepts are harmonious with most Christian Mystics because you know and expect God to reveal himself in every person, place, condition and thing in the universe including inside one's self and one's family.
Since God is everywhere there is literally nowhere that God is not.
Also, every religion has Mystics. In Islam the mystics are often called the Sufis, the Dervishes and in Hinduism the mystics are often called the Swamis and the Gurus.
And you will find in mystics direct understanding of the quantum universe. They won't usually speak like physicists unless they are educated as Physicists but they will understand many of the same things naturally through progressive revelation no matter what religion or philosophy they spring from.
In Tibetan Buddhism, (which I have studied) Mystics might be thought of as beings like Milarepa and Padmasambhava who was a Mahasiddha.
So, my path of Christian mysticism has led me to Native American Shamanism, the Swami Guru path, and into mahayana and Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism through initiation and practices.
So, I would presently call myself A Christian Mystic Tibetan Buddhist.
However, I also would call myself "Spiritual but not religious" in that I don't regularly go to any church anymore but instead have embarked on "The Leisure to Practice" and to share what I have learned whenever I sense it is a good time for that.
For me, none of what I'm writing about here is theoretical. To me, it is all completely scientific in so far as I have proved what I know to myself.
Of course I cannot prove it to you, only you can do that.
By God's Grace.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
