We encounter the supernatural in everyday life while we see the birth of a child, face the sudden death of a friend, witness the devastating power of nature, and stare at the sky on dark nights.
We are curious to understand the “main events,” and eager to answer the “big questions of life.” The supernatural is embodied in the “main events” and in “the details.”
The quest for the supernatural arises from the limitations of reason (C. Zins, 2011).

"The supernatural” is any “thing” that is beyond the empirical visible universe.
Mysticism studies the mystic phenomena. The term “mysticism” refers to beliefs and practices that ascribe meaning, power and qualities, which cannot be explained by empirical scientific exploration, to supernatural phenomena, natural objects, and human activities.
Religion. The term “religion” has diverse definitions but the established religions have common characteristics. Religions are systems of beliefs and practices relating to supernatural phenomena. They strive to shape the believers’ life stance. Religions ground their binding power on the supernatural, generally through authoritative leaders and scripture.
Classification. There are hundreds of religions and spiritual systems. There are several ways to classify the world religions. Here they are classified into five main sub-categories: ancient (2.3.1), monotheism (2.3.2), Asian (2.3.3), modern (2.3.4), and ethnic (2.3.5).
