the mystical

That's what it finally comes down to: to see everything, all elements equal, in life; even the mystical, even death. No one thing may extent beyond a second, each must rein its neighbor in. Then each has its own meaning and, what is most important: their sum will be a harmonious whole full of peace and security and equilibrium.

Only then does the mystical have its rightful place: if one does not grant it power different from the other forces. But the gullible seize on it as the secret cause of all that happens, and those who think they are above it are shattered by the violence of its incursions.
