Mystics and nonmystics can and often do share similar problems, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. The difference is that the nonmystic will (1) take responsibility for his or her own problems and (2) reject the destructive notion that "realities" spun from the mind can replace objective reality. On the other hand, mystics will (1) avoid responsibility, effort, and honesty needed to identify and integrate reality and (2) use their feelings or imaginations to recreate "new realities". They attempt to fill their desires the "easy", mystical way. But the mystical way is unreal - the hard way that never works.(Hamilton, Alexander, Savage, & Wallace)
