Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Most of the spiritual experiences of paradise gardens in Ancient Egyptian culture [and we do not know if these experiences were out of body or visions] were documented as paintings - works of art in other words - which are full of symbolic features.
These gardens could also have been real - sacred geography
