"Mysticism" is derived from the Greek μύω, meaning "I conceal",[web 2] and its derivative μυστικός, mystikos, meaning 'an initiate'. The verb μύω has received a quite different meaning in the Greek language, where it is still in use. The primary meanings it has are "induct" and "initiate". Secondary meanings include "introduce", "make someone aware of something", "train", "familiarize", "give first experience of something
According to Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the term μυστήριον in classical Greek meant "a hidden thing", "secret". (Wikipedia)
I was just looking into etymology literally yesterday for the first time in the long-time.
In any event, I logged on to make another post about "WHY IS THIS IS SO SECRETIVE?", but it's literally in the word "Mysticism".
Doesn't change the fact that I think people are hiding the truth under the rug about this thing.

Oh shit, you went right into this one- never considered checking the etymology for 'I'.

Agreed, incredible stuff. Well done!

when in reality it's always there it's always been there and you can't escape it
As he says when you sharpen a knife so much it breaks , so what comes up must come down - one cannot always improve themselves as there has to be a push back to even see improvement
I could be rambling here or wrong thats the way I'm seeing it right now
Connectedcosmos, what you say is so beautiful and so true. Thank you... I know exactly what you're talking about. Was thinking about the same thing myself last night...
