3- Those men of great elegance and enjoyment who get delighted with the appearance of beautiful spiritual states while relating to the universe, and only ask mysticism to give them these spiritual states. This kind of mysticism can be entitled “inward” mysticism. The Characteristics of Positive Mysticism Positive mysticism can also be called intelligible mysticism, for all efforts in positive head towards activating all of man's potentials onto the path to the ultimate end of the universe.

In positive mysticism man gains full domination over both internal and external worlds; while establishing an intelligible relationship with the universe and other humans, he can also achieve a life free of his natural self. Positive mysticism has a starting-point, a path and a destination - the highest goal of life. The starting-point is awareness of the soul and its perfection-seeking tendency on the path to greatness.

Such an awakening can make man take the world he lives in seriously and move on the path to an elevated life. The path is the conscious effort and exploration that takes man from “what there is” to transformation into “what there should be.” The characteristics of positive mysticism are: 1- The “self” is not humiliated in positive mysticism. People are never told to destroy their own egos.

Those who speak of humiliating and destroying it are actually inviting people to self-destruction, not self-enhancement. They do not know that self-humiliation is as lethal to man as being overconfident and conceited is. 2- In positive mysticism, simultaneous attention is given to both the advantages of man's spiritual evolution and to the moderation of his natural self.

The issues positive mysticism undertakes in order to elaborate the greatness and values that can save man from self-obsession: a) Thinking about the world of nature Paying attention to the order and discipline dominant over the world.

Observing the fascinating glory of the universe and paying attention to the objectiveness of nature Identifying spiritual pleasures and realizing that satisfaction and pleasure is not limited to purely natural pleasures Knowing virtual pleasure and how it flourishes 3- In positive mysticism, not only are the harmful effects of the natural self emphasized upon, the role of the attractiveness of perfection in the development of man is also considered important.
