Pastor Adam answers the question, “What is mysticism?” While he admires the mystics, he does not have personal experiences of mysticism. He refers to the Scriptures where a mystical experience is described about the conversion of Saul. Adam reminds listeners the anti-woman verses ascribed to Paul were not in his original epistles.
In Acts 9, a man named Saul has a conversion experience and becomes Paul. The very religious Saul saw the world as “us” and “them” and viewed the early Christians, followers of “The Way”, as heretics. Thrown from his horse and blinded, Saul is led to Ananais who heals him. In that moment Saul becomes Paul and sees the unity within all things and all people.
