I realized that I had to start from the very beginning. This way many people can use this course of mine «Mysticism from A to Z» as a way to get acquainted with mysticism. I consider mysticism to be an exact science, I would like you to be able to comprehend this teaching from the very beginning, as a science, without all sorts of insinuations and profanities, so that it would serve your interest, so that it would be your journey into the world of practice, to the world of comprehension, to the world of new revelations, and would not be associated with any mystifications, with some secrets, understatements. I will formulate as much as possible, and what cannot be conveyed in words, you can check yourself in practice and make sure that all the indicators are correct, although not all of them are sufficient.

I want you to understand that any teaching is a map, a map of the path that you will have to follow yourself and check everything from your own experience.

Therefore, we can say that science is closer to mysticism than myths, fairy tales, epics and other stories that we often take as mysticism and spirituality. In fact, this is a childish worldview. As a result, many scientists like Einstein and other scientific luminaries, for example, Niels Bohr, met and conversed with mystics: they wrote about their conversations with Jiddu Krishnamurti. In this way you can understand the desire of psychologist Carl Jung to meet with Ramana Maharshi and so on. All the leading scientific minds sooner or later realize the manifested conditionality of the discipline being studied and they wanted to come in touch with a truly genuine mystical model.

Next, we are going to consider a couple of such models. The first model is the simultaneity of the whole creation. It is a very common non-duality worldview, which says that creation happened simultaneously, at once and only its recognition is a linear process. That which is created at once and simultaneously is only perceived and described by us linearly. It means that there is a gap between the whole creation and its perception. Our perception is discrete, partial, limited, the description is linear, but creation itself is one-time, simultaneous, all-embracing and total. It is a very deep mystical view that means going beyond the linear time. I think I will soon write the chapter «The seven kinds of time», where we will dwell into the concept of «time» and how we consider it in our Free Away teaching in more detail, but today our topic is the topic of worldviews.
