Talk:Ineffability

Jason Blum points out the ineffability is a common and cross-cultural experience. He points to neurological evidence that suggests "non-linguistic" knowing is a common feature of consciousness in the animal and human kingdom and suggest that contra to the "perennialist position," cross-cultural similiarites in mystical experience are not the result of a shared mystical-object but the result of "Shared structure of the human brain."

"Current neuroscientific and psychological evidence, however, suggests a competing explanation for such cross-cultural similarities. Rather than indicating a common mystic object, such similarities may instead merely be products of the shared structure of the human brain."
