Mysticism is usually understood in a religious context, but as William James (1902) points out, mystical experiences may happen to anyone, regardless of religious training or inclinations. Such experiences can occur unbidden and without preparation at any time, and might not be understood as religious experiences at all. They may be interpreted, perhaps, as artistic, scientific, or other forms of inspiration, or even dismissed as psychological disturbances. With that in mind, the word mysticism, is best used to point to conscious and systematic attempts to gain mystical experiences through studies and practice. Possible techniques include meditation, prayer, asceticism, devotions, the chanting of mantras or holy names, and intellectual investigation. Mystics typically go beyond specific religious perspectives or dogmas in their teachings, espousing an inclusive and universal perspective that rises above sectarian differences.

Answer 1

Or maybe Science is a less abstract form of mysticism...

Answer 2

No. mysticism is esoteric and personal. i.e. the mystic seeks to achieve a private relationship with the divine, often using techniques that are only understood in his or her religion. Science is public and impersonal. i.e. it attempts to find out the truth about empirical matters in a public way.
