Atheism in mysticism


The experience of the mystic is to die -- to let go of his ego before he dies.
He or she enjoys a death-in-life: it allows him or her to identify with others,
to become them and ultimately one with the universe.

-- Dorion Sagan, "Sex, Lies, and Cyberspace", Wired january 1995 p 78
