This thread is for non-believers (atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, etc):
Have you ever had a mystical experience?
If so, what do you consider a mystical experience?
Is the only difference between "a mystical experience" and "thinking" the degree to which it affects the thinker?
Although I realise it could be quite difficult to do so, could you explain in what way the two kinds of experience differed? Or perhaps how you were able to determine them to be distinct?rhys said:Nobody can experience other people's internal life. In my case the effects were, subjectively, of a completely different kind, not a matter of degree at all - but, obviously they both happened in my own head, at least as far as I was concerned. Since most people tend to deny that they have this kind of experience, it is difficult to discuss.
Heya rhys,
Although I realise it could be quite difficult to do so, could you explain in what way the two kinds of experience differed? Or perhaps how you were able to determine them to be distinct?
The sense of self disappeared, I think, and everything seemed right. Long time back now.
