Notes
According to Lang and Thalbourne, "the intensity of mystical experiences forms a progression that starts with quite general experiences of happiness, followed by enlightenment by a higher power, and ultimately leading to union with the Absolute." [1]
"...the intensity can range from a few moments of rapture to several hours of shattering psychological experience." [2]
Powerful events "...it expands you, and if your body is not really healthy it can just blow your circuits out over and over and over again."[3]
