Mysticism and the Struggle between Orthodoxy and Heresy.

This episode examines mysticism as an experiential mode of learning that ultimately can harmonize the orthodox penchant for structure with the heretical inclination to transcend rules and regulations, for the greater good. If orthodoxy and heresy are two sides of the same coin, mysticism is the gold from which both are minted. The social and individual benefits that accrue to us through understanding this dynamic are huge, for in the final analysis, the healing of world and personal conflicts may depend upon it. Our tendency to compartmentalize areas of belief into spiritual and secular or worldly spheres, as if unrelated or even antithetical, is misguided. For we live in a world whose driving force has been the search for unity— whether as a unified theory, a political system, or emotional connection to each other and to the source from which we come.
