Notes

Xolani Kacela: "In my own mystical experience, the intense joy and happiness that I felt was a major component of the event. Though I was not under the influence of any stimulant, I was filled with enormous exhilaration and emotion. [1]

The central core of the experience seems to be the conviction, or insight, that the immediate now, whatever its nature, is the goal and fulfillment of all living.
