In the end I think mysticism is true to some extent(it's definitely the most satisfying explanation of God), but he misses the mark trying to tie some of the religions under the mystical band wagon like Taoism and Buddhism. I would have stuck with Hinduism / Esoteric Judaism+Christianity / Sufism.

The absolutes of Taoism and Buddhism are accessed with an ordinary(everyday) intellect, while the mystical experiences of other religions speak to another dimension of human existence. God is unmistakably perceived in His Glory.
