Buddhist mysticism tells us that the ego is not eternal, and nor is the self, mysticism then does not allow for immortality of the individual. Furthermore mysticism goes further than to make ethics purely human, it makes it purely individual. In Mysticism the only ultimate ethical imperative is to understand and express ones true will. this furthers unifying the ego and the self which Jung described as individuation. Modern mysticism can agree with G.O.D. as Grand Operating Design (although still too small a definition of an infinite unknowable that lies beyond human perception). However, looking at the light only blinds, to learn about light you must observe what it shines upon. Us Humans.
