Mysticism generally refers to the experience, belief, or pursuit subjective emotional states constructed from the combination of the disassociation, submission to the pack response and the abandonment of responsibility, and conscious thought, resulting in positive auto-associations and continous emotional feedback from them, producing a state of extraordinary calm. This process, if practiced regularly, can assist in the formation of mindfulness, the demand for which increases dramatically as populations and divisions of labor increase and therefore certainty and agency decrease. It is one of the easiest disciiplilnes for most humans to learn and can be achived by multiple personal, social, political, or even conceptual means.
