The mystical experience is unusual in that it takes the subject away from normal perceptions for a limited period of time. When that person returns from the event, he or she has difficulty explaining what has happened, since transcendent reality does not lend itself to language.
Mystical experiences indicate that human reality is not the only reality, and so they confront those who experience them or believe in them with the fundamental limits of human knowledge. Mystical experiences offer proof and firsthand knowledge of human transcendence.
