Abstract
Is it religion in its authentic and precise meaning disappearing? Surely, it is at least changing its configuration. Secularity has occupied the spaces before intended to religion. It is precisely in this exact context that, in our view, Mystique emerges with growing and renewed importance, while it is also reconfigured. For Panikkar, Only the mystic can survive in today's society without becoming violent or cynical. Only the mystic can preserve the integrity of his being because he is in communion with all reality. The term "mystique" indicates a direct relationship with the mystery, as the first source of being and also source all the existing past, present and future without time and space that is noticeable to interiority and which contains all reality in its fullness. So mystique is constitutively something human and not necessarily linked to a religious institution. In this paper we reflect on deinstitutionalization and detraditionalization that have marked the mystical experiences of today that are often on the margins or outside of any religion.
