Interesting discussion on mysticism. My wife is an organist - organ major at Samford - and for her senior recital she played a very complicated piece by a French organist, Olivier Messiaen, entitled “Dieu parmi nous.” It is the final piece from his “La nativité du Seigneur.” He was a devout Roman Catholic, and his music was saturated with mysticism. In referring to his “God among us,” he imagines Mary as proclaiming: “He who created me rested in my womb.” If you have a chance listen to the piece. It’s quite a wild ride.
