Mysticism transcends Science

The rift between mysticism and the modern sciences derives mainly from elements of scientism: certain branches of the natural sciences, broadly disavow subjective experience as meaningless, misunderstanding the limitations of the ancient languages. That said, several areas of study in biology (Mae Wan Ho and Lynn Margulis are two examples) and philosophy address the same issues that concern the mystic, and modern physicists now struggle to understand a multiple dimensional reality that mystics' have attempted to describe for millennia. Physicist David Bohm speaking of consciousness expressing itself as matter and/or energy would be completely understood by the mystic.

Philosophy tends to be concerned with issues closely related to mysticism, such as the subjective experience of existence in Existentialism. While existentialism suggests a nothingness rather than a oneness, the mystic's pursuit of emptiness points directly toward a potential unity between physics and psychology that does not at present exist. The mystic's attempt to describe cause and effect between one's internal state and the miraculous, hints at a close connection between psychological stability (ego transcendence) and the mysterious realm of causality quantum physicists are now deciphering - dimensional reality shifts that synchronize with states of consciousness and unconflicted choices.

Agreed, but neurons do not comprise the fundamental irreducible elements of the brain. At some level, quantum effects are at work to cause neurons to have whatever properties they have.
