Notes

Xolani Kacela: "...one might perceive mystical experience as God reaching out to humanity and the embodied changes of sensation, mood, and experience as response to the divine. As the Holy Spirit descends upon us, ordinary experience is transformed into mystical experience, and we become one with the Spirit." [1]
