He was not talking about mysticism. He was talking about the ability to open oneself up to the greatness of possibilities, to free one's self of intellectual restraint. To be open to the wonder and mystery of the universe (and not to fear what is not known or that something might even be "unknowable") give the truly great mind the freedom to explore the possibilities.

You missed entirely what he was saying. He is not talking about mysticism in the form of magic, but rather in the form of having a healthy respect for the unknown and for the possibility that there are some things we cannot ken.

It is unlikely that the truly earthbound in their intellect have ever thought of one useful thing.

I consider "too open oneself up to the greatness of possibilities, to free one's self of intellectual restraint," both mysticism and grossly immoral. To live for the truth and to live morally requires self-restraint and ruthless intellectual intergrity.
