Notes

Immanuel Kant distinguishes between Direct Mystical Experience (DME) and Indirect Mystical Experience (IME). DME is "direct experience of supersensible entities through a special faculty of non-sensible intuition." IME is "(IME) The indirect experience of a supersensible entity through the perception of something sensible—such as an image or a feeling—that is caused by that supersensible entity." DMEs may be distinguished between DME_ns and DME_s. DME Non Sensible is "The direct experience of a supersensible entity by means of nonsensible intuition" while DME Sensible is "The direct sensible experience of a supersensible entity that has assumed a physical form."

William James notes that a mystical experience is any experience that includes the following four characteristics: Ineffability, Noetic Quality, Transiency, and Passivity

Pahnke says mystical experience has nine dimensions which are/may be present during a mystical experience. These are unity, transcendence of time and space, positive mood, sense of sacredness, noetic quality (i.e. Noesis, paradoxicality, alleged ineffability, transiency, and persisting positive changes. Pahnke provides the Pahnke Mystical Experience Questionnaire to identify/measure mystical experience.

Happold: Ineffability, Noetic Quality, Transiency, Passivity, Unity, Timelessness, No Self (unity with True Self).
