Reality in the final analysis, reality in a fully integrated epistemological context, is abstraction. It is the aggregate of abstract principles that are completely independent of any particular observer and his/her experience, and as such reality is objective. Furthermore, abstract principles by nature exist independent of time ~ Therefore Reality is not relative. And when reality is cognized by consciousness, which as well, is independent of time, it exists in the form of concepts. However, since it exists in the form of concepts, consciousness can subjectively create or simulate "reality" without ever objectively conceiving, comprehending, or identifying reality as such. This inherent proclivity of consciousness to create, simulate, or make up "reality" is mysticism. Mysticism is the epistemological disease of consciousness to confine itself in the perceptivity-centered modality (the emulated bicameral modality), in subjectivity, while fabricating or making up nonexisting, illusory "realities". Since  consciousness is Self-Causative, consciousness must generate a continuous integration of energy to sustain its existence in its comprehension of reality. In other words, consciousness must continuously exert effort to fulfill its funtion as the conceptual integrator of reality. Mysticism is consciousness' default in that effort. It is the self-negation of consciousness by consciousness. No other cognitive mode including the bicameral mind is capable of mysticism, for none other than consciousness is nonautomatic and is the sole source of its own existence. Mysticism is not caused by the lack of consciousness, but by the lack of integration. Mysticism, including all the infinite entity mind created fantasies, such as god, nation, state, "the law", aggregate, race etc ad nauseum, is the symptom of mans' default in epistemological integrity and is the cause of all human suffering.
