Your words smell like Terence McKenna, in a good way

I also find it funny that we keep looking for mystical events within existence, while existence itself, you being aware right now, is the most mystical event ever. Existence is even the foundation of you wondering about mysticism, if there is such a thing. Wouldn't it be easier (energy-minimum-wise) for there to be nothing at all?

I also like your second part, the example about how we conceptualize immediate experience by naming phenomena and thereby putting them into boxes and overlooking what they really are. Why should any event be more mystical than for example the sun shining right now? It doesn't become obvious just because our human minds can now explain the basic mechanism of that, because the human mind itself is just one of the many phenomena within existence
