Exploring Inner Space – Jane Dunlap

It became clear for the first time why stirring spiritual experiences were spoken of as mystical; one can describe actions, surroundings, and happenings in such a way that they can be comprehended, but deep emotions can be understood only after they have been felt.  I knew that, since it was impossible to communicate them, they must forever remain mysterious, an unsolved mystery to all who have not had such feelings.  If any person would recall the most intensely religious emotions he had experienced and then try to imagine multiplying them a hundredfold to allow for LSD magnification, it seemed to me that he would understand the impossibility of putting such feelings into words.  It occurred to me that almost nothing has been told of Christ's mystical experience in the desert, and that Buddha's enlightenment was said to have been incommunicable
