Mystical experience

Mystical experience refers to direct, non-conceptual encounter with ultimate reality that feels more real than ordinary consciousness and usually carries a sense of unity, timelessness, and dissolving of the separate self. It's important not as proof of anything metaphysical but as a psychological phenomenon that reorders a person's sense of what's real and possible, whether it's genuinely contact with the transcendent or the mind's deepest capacities revealing themselves.
