Mysticism is a term so irresponsibly applied in English that it has become the first duty of those who use it to explain what they mean by it. The Concise Oxford Dictionary (1911) after defining a mystic as "one who believes in spiritual apprehension of truths beyond the understanding " adds "whence mysticism, (often contempt)". Whatever may be the precise force of the remark in brackets, it is unquestionably true that mysticism is often used in a semi contemptuous way to denote vaguely any kind of occultism or spiritualism or any specially curious or fantastic views about God and the universe.
