@FutureStudies_ Apologies: posted my comment at the #top of the thread (on its 72nd floor) rather than here at the #bottom, beneath the present example. Here it is: ThreadReaderApp.com/thread/1403383… #Babel_on! :-)
@FutureStudies_ Now—following after the #comment—a #question: do you really think that these corporate yoga/meditation/mindfulness classes are a form (or forms) of #mysticism, that-is-to-say #mystical_practice? I suspect that they are #not (indeed #far_from_it).
@FutureStudies_ And #a_follow_̶up_question, if I may (in June): what is a ‘#part_̶time_mystic’?—or indeed a #full_̶time_mystic, for that matter/mindfulness. Are there part-time and full-time employment-opportunities for mystics?—and again, are these mystics actual (or even virtual) #μύστης?

@FutureStudies_ Well, right on. Ok then—le merveilleux monsieur Mohaghegh (a.k.a. ‘Dr. J’) has asked that the FSP faculty start commenting on the new Twitterized Lab-posts, and what better place to begin such commentary than with-&-in the #Mystic Lab? (‘mysticism’ from the Greek μύστης and μῡ́ω
@FutureStudies_ designating those who keep their mouths closed: the ultimate challenge to-&-for any commentator). “Is the 72nd floor of a London skyscraper closer to heaven?” writes Andrea @CityAsTheatre Cetrulo, evoking BlueLetterBible.org/kjv/gen/11/1/t… (“And they said, Go to!—Let us build us a city, and
@FutureStudies_ @cityastheatre a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth”).
