".. Mysticism is the acceptance of allegations without evidence or proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one’s sense, and one’s reason. Mysticism is the claim to some non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable, non-identifiable means of knowledge, such as “instinctâ€, “intuition,†“revelation,†or any form of “just knowing.â€" [Ayn Rand, “Faith and Force: The Destroyers of the Modern World†Philosophy: Who Needs It, p 62]
