We can draw closer to mysticism if we think obliquely, autobiographically, vernacularly, performatively, practically, erotically, and aesthetically. Mysticism is a singular form of floating attention—what I call passive activity or active passivity. It is necessary to activate all seven adverbs if we are to glean mysticism's meaning, its core, its magma: love.
