What is a Mystical Experience?

12 Comments Read More

Mystical Experiences are utterly mysterious and difficult to articulate, but it’s common enough that we have reports of mystical experiences across time and cultures. It’s a state of consciousness, a phenomenon that simply happens to us and we don’t know why. It’s impossible to achieve through your own efforts alone, because it’s given to you—by grace.

When this happens to you, there’s no doubt because it’s not a rationalization. A mystical experience is not a theory that someone has convinced you of to make life seem more tolerable. This state is as real and deep and undeniable.

In this episode of Holy Rebels, we explore the 3 telltale signs of mystical consciousness. Have you ever had a mystical experience? Not sure? Listen now to find out!

    I just love this. It is like answering questions for me. and what I have really kind of felt my whole life, but of course I get pulled out a lot of the time. Trying to get back to that center of me that used to be pretty natural and as a cousin of mine said, “you take for granted at times”. Thank you

      Hi Mary Ann, Good for you to reconnect with your innate wisdom. Spirituality is a muscle. The more you flex, the more natural and integrate the intuition becomes in your daily life.

    We are enjoying this series on What is mysticism?” … it is helpful to unpack the many faceted meaning of “mysticism” … I always had the sense that it meant something different to everyone who talked about it … so it’s useful to examine the various aspects of what it means to be a “mystic” … to embark on the journey … thanks for this … Gary + Rachelle

      Hi Gary and Rachelle, I agree there are many topics within mysticism. Mystics have an intimate relationship with the divine and can access hidden truths about the universe through their own personal spiritual journey. Learning about what mystics see through their eyes is fascinating and applicable to our own spiritual journey too 🙂

    I understand everything but always found it difficult to explain.
    For this I am very grateful.
