Mysticism does not involve belief or analysis, mysticism is seeing. There is no room for confirmation bias.
To even apply the category of "confirmation bias" to mysticism implies a deep misunderstanding about the nature of perception.
There is no confirmation bias to, upon seeing the color green, reporting "I am being appeared to greenly". So there is no confirmation to mysticism that is only a reporting of the tangible presence of God, the existence of visions, the experience of the spirit of God shining on people, etc.
There is no interpretation.
