[ But of a truth, the word "mysticism" merely means divine knowledge, or more specifically, direct Spiritual knowledge - thus in Christian theology, the indwelling Spirit is called Christian mysticism. We have the mind of Christ. ]

I know.. I just don't like it(the word)... I'm not real hot on the word God either...LoooL.. Seems so impersonal.. I use them both but they both seem be missing something, I prefer other words.. talking about you know who.. d;-) There are other words that crawl my nape too.. Like saying orientated instead of oriented... Yeah I'm a little nutz..

Thank you for explaining your instinct concerning certain words!

I have a long list of words which set off "red flags" to me - most of them because they are mean-spirited or prejudicial. For instance, in my view, words like “liar” and “fool” say more about the speaker than the subject.
