<![CDATA[Mystical theology is often underestimated and labeled as theology that does not touch the problems of life. This article attempts to further examine the existence of mystical theology by examining and exploring the nature of mystical theology from the story of Paul's mystical experience in II Cor. 12:1-10 which is compared to Bima's mystical experience in Dewa Ruci's story.
