This certificate course offers a comprehensive exploration into the definition, origins, philosophy, and scientific foundations of mystical traditions. Students will examine sacred scriptures, recognized books of revelation, and key proponents to analyze how mysticism intersects, aligns, or conflicts with established religions. The curriculum explores core metaphysical concepts—including the relationships between the Creator, creation, and creatures—alongside the art and ethics of mysticism. Through rigorous research projects and critical papers, learners develop the analytical skills required to distinguish authentic mystical principles from prevalent cultural perceptions. Course Format: 4 lectures per week featuring conceptual themes, religion-specific analyses, and direct primary source comparative readings.
