Well, they *aren't* true mystics, according to the new definition of mysticism. Sure, they may have some hokie philosophical stuff, but they are no more mystics than the kids going around saying "there is no spoon" because they saw it in a kewl movie. (put me on the list of people that think The Matrix is a neat flick, but not greatness personified).
