What about mystical experiences?

They're just things that happen to us that we can't explain with our current paradigms. (I can think of several of my students to whom mathematics seems mystical!)

The better question is, "Are they useful?" And the answer (as always) is: "Sometimes."

If they help make your next steps on your path clearer and more conscious, they are helpful. But mystical experiences can sometimes lead us into other forms of illusion and deception.

How can you tell the difference? By your awareness of Peace. The more peace you feel, the more you are approaching the return to God. And remember, the Peace of God has no opposite.

I am going to write some entries about some of the mystical experiences that helped me on my path. Will they be helpful to other people? I have no idea. If you're reading this blog, I'd appreciate any feedback as to how helpful (or not) you're finding it to be.
