Mysticism and Intuition

James proposes that two of the characteristics of mystical experience are possession of a noetic quality, and passivity.  Bergson sums these up with a term that James curiously does not use--'intuition'.  However, Bergson eventually discerns that at least some mystical moments are more than passive, i. e. that they are creative, e. g. artistic moments.  Still, he falls short of appreciating that the mystical 'feeling of unity with a deity' is a process of empowerment, in which a power source is noetically posited as a 'deity'.  In other words, neither James nor Bergson achieves the insight into 'mystical experience' that Spinoza does, i. e. as a moment of an individual's intuition of itself as a mode of dynamic natura naturans.  Nor does James seem to achieve an insight into Spinoza's insight, incorrectly interpreting the latter's 'idea of God' as a rational representation of a static totality.
