Never forget the river of water of life is a Person. That is a wonderful thing!

I'd also add, that rundown of mysticism is really for those just starting to experiment with spirituality. Eventually continuing to flirt with mysticism can lead into a personal relationship, not with Jesus Christ, but with antichrist who's good at disguising himself as an angel of light. But that's for another discussion. That's why I say test all things and examine yourself to make sure you're in the Christian faith (2 Cor 13:5, 1 Thess 5:21) and not some other form of spirituality.
