only a point: Then, It is not specially intriguing seeing some
Christian mystics (Origen, etc..) talking about rebirth?.
Because we cannot find some Buddhist mystics talking about
non-rebirth. Moreover, we find in the later Christian mystics that
there is a point where the imagery tools are finished, and then
God "show his secrets" and similar claims. Maybe the difference is
that Buddhism is explicit.
