As An Attempt Of Selfruling Of Man Gerald Wicklein , Ph.D. There are periods in the history in which relatively equal processes happen in different cultures. Doctrines originate independent of each other which have identities in contents. As well in the West of christian culture as in the East of Islamic culture too religious shocks happen, and we find again the question on the man and his fate in the world. A revival of mystics is the result of these mental problems.
Mystics aspire after spiritualization in the man opposite the crisis in the outer world.
We have a century in which the mystics create a lot of worthy representants. In this tradition also we find Bonaventura who was one of the first significant philosophers of the franciscanian movement. This also is the intention of the movement of Waldensers which almost breaks the romanic church as 'practical mystics', or 'mystical practice'. We find mystical movements also in a far distance of these European phenomena, for example in Tibet where in the end of 12th century the guru Gampopa died, the founder of the school of Kargyypta of buddhistic mystics. He had similarities in his doctrines with the mystics of Meister Eckhart.
