Ah, I see.
Yes, when put that way, I believe there is a universal consciousness.

So you believe that the absolute truth is a universal?

Yes, I personally believe that. It flows from the concept of "cosmos".

My question was if you thought the concepts of mysticism could be a contained system.

An interesting question, but I think we are missing some definitions.
Specifically, where are you drawing your boundries? Because I can see making them large enough so that any "system" is closed, but that some players (mystics) may be working with a subset of data.

Yeah, I have done alot of reading about our cognitive evolution, and how it relates to other types of evolution. It is really interesting stuff but I can't get past the arguement that it could all be a contained system, and if so whats past that or are things non-hierarchical once you get past this system
 so much confusion

I would have to read some of what you've read, but I wouldn't get too worked up on all the details, because we've probably got 99% of them wrong anyway
