I can add my perspective so you can study me since I claim to be a mystic.
i'm a mystic. mysticism can not be disqualified by the mere mechanics of this reality as it claims that it functions by it's own mechanics. it is like light shining through air. the air is still air and the light is still light. that spiritual reality surmounts this symbolic reality in a way that would allow for everything to function as it does in this reality while also serving a different purpose in that "reality of light". just because someone believes truth should be had in a certain way does not disqualify what I know but they have to come to conclusions based on their own standards of what they see as being the truth just like I do. "spirit" is not a thing that can be tested. it has to be evidenced of itself. simply understanding the mechanics of this reality does not undermine the spiritual reality and it's ability to interact with this one. things that can be tested exist within the laws of our universe called physical reality. most people think they understand enough about physical reality to come to ultimate conclusions about all of reality.
there is no contradiction between rational thinking and mysticism because they depend on different forms of thinking, they are in different spheres of knowledge. to a mystic, logic can only get you so far. so we want to go past the light into the darkness. the people who love the light can't measure the darkness and so they don't believe it is a real thing. but the mystic knows that the darkness and light are the same thing. the darkness is bright blinding light. mystics attempt to get this brightness and then have their eyes adjust to it.
mystics want ultimate conclusions, not an infinity of progressing towards more and more light. they want to start from the highest height rather than from the bottom down. so a mystic is one who lust for truth so much that he is willing to go far beyond his own capacities of logic and reason in hopes of cheating the process of the steps of progress that human logic takes. mystics claim to see something that others don't see yet. those that don't see say we are irrational and making things up. it's a logical conclusion to come to for those who have not seen that unity of reality that we have seen.
but as far as I can see, me being a mystic should not get in the way of the agreement about what is proper morality and the beauty of the virtues seeing as how that very goodness is what the spirit is and it is what good people term "God".
so yes. we like to speak "gibber jabber" even though we know what we say. most people consider it to be foolishness. to me... this world is pretty foolish compared to that other world I saw. in this reality I see the middle. in that reality I saw the beginning and the end. therefore I have compassion for people because I know who they are as opposed to what they are right now. so it does affect my view of morality to some degree.
physical reality compels you to believe certain things. the spiritual reality does not compel. it is more closely related to morality than this universe because the mind/humans are closer to spirit than physical reality is. spirit is more anarchic in nature than this objective reality is, even though this objective reality is a certain kind of manifestion of spirit. humans are spirits and that is why they have capacity to understand "God". a thing mystics like to do is take complete control of our souls and make them into something that we feel is beautiful. having virtues means likeness to God and so we want to be as good as we can be because what we want is God/truth/ true beauty, ectect
