People who seek spiritual truth and connection to the divine through meditation, contemplation, or inner experience rather than through learning or logic.
From Greek mystikos (secret, hidden), related to mystis (initiate). The term originally referred to those initiated into secret religious rituals, later broadening to spiritual seekers.
The word mystic comes from 'mystery'—historically, mystics were people who sought to understand the hidden mysteries of existence that science and logic couldn't explain, making them spiritual philosophers before modern science existed.
