Mysteries of everyday life in the other side, the experience is transcendent mystery, even the experience of Transcendence.

Because the people themselves is a mystery, his theology is essentially a mystery of theology, by Ignatius Puqiwala and the impact of Heidegger, Rahner "mystery man" who will be the original spiritual and philosophical beliefs crystallized up, he Mystagogy explain the process of becoming a man, and into a mysterious encounter with the teachings of Rahner that the mystery of God experienceć•Žguide, is a human could, and must process, and the foundation Mystagogy is a mystery in itself, make their own identified with God is interconnected, the ability of people take the initiative, able to "God" looking to produce, it shows people are looking for God, and people close to the passive state is silent, it is a sacred experience, people open their encounter with God in silence. Mystery is the other side of everyday life. Mystical experience is experience of the supernatural, even of the Transcendence. Rahner believes that everyone has the capacity to have mystical experience and it can be cultivated and developed. Rahner's theology is mystical in its essence, being influenced by St. Ignatius, Erich Przywara and Martin Heidegger. For him, man in himself is a mystery, and he considers this mystery as a convergence of belief, spirituality and philosophy. He uses the term "Mystagogy" to explain how man becomes human being, and regards it as a discipline that leads to the encounter with mystery. Rahner holds that mystical experience can be taught, it is a possibility to and a necessary process for man. The basis of this Mystagogy is mystery itself, in which man discovers his inner connectedness with God . The active part of man can enter into contemplation which is the active search for God and the process ends in a passive state of silence. This is a sacred experience where man opens himself and encounters God in silence
