Mystical Experience (faith, Christian, Christ)

[spiritually inclined]

There is a similar thread on another forum that I thought would be interesting here. Have any of you had a mystical experience or experiences that have contributed to your faith as a liberal Christian?

By mystical experience, I mean a broad range of experiences -- out of body experiences (OBE's), near-death experiences (NDE's), near-death like experiences, the experience of receiving a telepathic message from an entity or entities, profound profound insight or internal experience, visions, dreams, etc. These experiences can occur with the aid of certain chemical substances, during sex, during stress, during death or a near-death state, during sleep, or even completely naturally in a normal setting. (I had one in a completely normal state of mind, and it was completely unexpected.)
