I have felt for some time that mysticism, sincere religion, atheism and agnosticism don't really have to contradict one another if all recognize that the essential thing is ontological humility. This means admitting that we are all really very small, almost insignificantly tiny creatures in the face of infinity. We don't really know what the meaning of existence is. I am intrigued by the interest in linking mysticism with bioethics. But I am uncomfortable with the term mysticism because it can mean anything from occult studies to spiritualist seances.
Mysticism is to spirituality as scientism is to wisdom.
I also believe that deep or global bioethics would benefit from having a metaphysical template. This is evident phenomenologically in the existential, experiential,, and relational aspects of being. This means, to paraphrase Thomas Berry, the universe is a communion of subjects, not a collection of objects. Interdependence and co-evolution have both ecological and spiritual dimensions that lead to mutually enhancing symbioses among individuals, species, and communities. This is the basis for rational beings to develop bioethics to help resolve conflicts of interests and values.
