MINDRAMP PODCAST - FLOURISH AS YOU AGE
MYSTICISM: WHAT IS IT?
A mystical experience, similar to the "enlightenment" described by Buddhists and other contemplative practices, involves a disillusion of self and a sense of unity with something grander than ourselves. We describes this something-grander-than-ourselves, in various ways - as God, as Tao, as the natural order and so on.
In this episode we explore the following topics
- Common characteristics of a mystical experience
- Iain McGilchrists hemisphere hypothesis
- An account of a mystical experience from Clare Booth Luce
- Introverted and Extroverted types of unity
- The power of metaphors: "The Kingdom of God," as an example
- No Self: the disillusion of self.
- Mathieu Ricard and Wolf Singer's book Beyond The Self
- Different approaches to enlightenment, Buddhist, mystical and hemispheric
- Unity with God (etc.) is a process of becoming.
