When mystics make claims about extrasensory dimensions of reality, they are making the same type of claim as do physical scientists when they cite the laws of physics or psychologists when they posit emotional complexes that govern healthy and morbid responses to events. They are not speaking of the magical, mythological, or otherworldly; they are attempting to speak, however well or inaccurately, of aspects of the world of sense perception that are not perceptible to the senses.
