Many of these quotes have to do with theories of consciousness. Describing consciousness is still a philosophical problem. I wouldn't call this "mysticism," just scientists trying to grapple with the mind-body problem.
Different people, different definitions. There's also some overlap between abstractions like Philosophy & "Mysticism".
> …I regard consciousness as fundamental
> Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.
> Deep down the consciousness of mankind is one.
> The notion that all these fragments are separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion.
Reading these quotes, it seems like they are all in an abstract, or mind, domain.
