    Assuming there has ever been any such thing as a straight question....

    Mystics, to their discredit, don't deal in facts, but in perceptions.
    Their 'insights' are only valid to the degree these perceptions are a
    universal condition of the input, output, and processing of the
    perceptual equipment of homo sapiens.
