A mystic union refers to a spiritual or religious experience in which an individual feels a profound connection or unity with a divine entity, the cosmos, or the ultimate reality. This concept is central to many spiritual traditions, including Kabbalah in Judaism, Sufism in Islam, and various forms of Christian mysticism. In Hebrew, the term is often translated as איחוד מיסטי (Ikhud Misti). In Spanish, it is known as unión mística, and in German, it is referred to as mystische Vereinigung. The experience of a mystic union is often described as transcending the ordinary boundaries of self and ego, leading to a state of bliss, enlightenment, or divine love. Mystics throughout history have sought this union through practices such as meditation, prayer, and asceticism, aiming to achieve a direct and intimate relationship with the divine.
