Spiritual Mysticism vs. Spiritual Maturity ...God is not only the teacher but the creator of the causes of learning.

If God is our teacher then He not only defines who He is , but He defines how much He is going to reveal and the line between belief and unbelief. Not only does He have a method for our understanding , but He is the cause of all that we know of the truth. This is the reality of the way we begin to be taught by Him so that we understand who He is and how much we understand about the truth. In other words we do not come to the truth, but the truth comes to us. Our nature is like the soil for the growth of plants.  The nature is our understanding of all the purposes and ends for which God has made us in this world . We are the only creatures understand the renewal of all things.
 

Mystery  is beyond our ability to comprehend. And if God were to desire that we understand mysterious knowledge then He would give us the ability to reason it out. For there are things that are impossible for us to accomplish even tho we know of them, yet we have never had the experience of doing them. And we are always free to talk about things even tho we do not have an intimate knowledge of them. If we we could not give our opinion on something outside our sphere of experience then this world would be a miserable prison. We are made to seek after God through the knowledge of God. Ignorance is not bliss. We cannot know God unless the knowledge is through revelation.  Unless we are seeking this divine knowledge then we are restless. If we place limitations on the methods, the kind, and the scope of knowledge that God has not limited then i think that is legalism.
