Actually, I do care. I think I just have a different perspective.
There is a difference between the term "mystic" as used in Christian history and "mystic" as used in the New Age. They are two TOTALLY different things. Those who confuse the two are only showing that they don't know what they are talking about.
The New Age certainly does contain counterfeit experiences, practices, etc. But a counterfeit is not a counterfeit unless it is attempting to duplicate the real thing. For example, "clairesentience" as described by many in the New Age is nothing more than a counterfeit of the "gift of knowledge". That doesn't mean that those with the gift of knowledge are witches or New Agers.
