Abstract:

Human beings through history have made a big deal of attempts to get to know their hazardous surroundings. People and societies have always construed all events and phenomenon as having meaningful relations, which has been mostly interpreted according to feelings and mental images. In the recent paper the relation and coordination between mystical knowledge and hazardous phenomenon has been considered. The main question here is why divers cultures have adopted diverse approaches and interpretations towards human and natural hazards. Mystical approach is distinct from scientific or intellectual one in that it is based on the past history and stories, or notion based on them. However, such an approach is not past itself and the modern world has its own myths which like those of the past are shaped according to our humane wishes, desires and anxieties.
