    To value one's direct experience prior to language is, I agree, a "mystic
    value."

    When you introduce love, connections, empathy and union you presume an
    "other" which becomes dualism. But, no matter. Feelings of "goodness,
    truth and beauty" regardless our inability to fully express them because
    of their non-dual nature, qualify I think for "mystic values."

    Thanks for an enlightening response.

    Best,
    Platt
