Article 1.4

Mystical Experience is rooted in a changed perception of worldly phenomena. It may, and usually does, trigger higher levels of consciousness. When it does trigger higher levels of consciousness, it may lead to transcendent consciousness. The highest level of transcendent consciousness is cosmic consciousness, as described in various sources. Characteristics of cosmic consciousness include death of ego and timeless bliss, a highly transformative experience.

But not all manifestations of mystical experience are like that. Accordingly, they are open to a broader range of gifted individuals. Also, mystical experience does not need preconditions such as awakening of the mind, although it helps to understand the experience. When it occurs, it happens unexpectedly to the surprise of the observer. In some cases, a religious revelation may lead mystical experience. In slightly less profound cases, the mystical experience can rooted in deep spiritual truth, triggered by profound knowledge, changing the perception of reality.

An individual that has reached a certain level of enlightenment will highly appreciate mystical experience. But there is absolute no guarantee that that mystical experience will reoccur, no matter how enlightened or awaken someone is. Therefore, mystical experience is to be cherished. Only when someone truly values the experience and integrates it with his authentic self and individual essence, one may speak of Secondary Integration.

The constitutional implication of mystical experience is to understand it as an event that completely breaks with the tradition of primary integration. Documentation of the experience should be kept private, as not to devaluate it (a sin). Ideally, the experience will be memorized by the individual and used as a tool for personal development. Mystical experience namely may influence how the individual perceives his Third Factor, if he is aware of it in the first place, the autonomous self that is directed towards personal growth by eliminating primitive mental structures.

Our constitution celebrates other-worldly experiences and rejects suspicion of pathology, often caused by the fact that it breaks with the norm in society, leading to general misunderstanding. In fact, mystical experience is the gateway to other realities beyond the conventional. And provides an opportunity to process meta-physical elements at a deep personal level. It is the ticket way of out of this dystopian nightmare, if only for a brief and limited time.
