||Jerry: "Another way to put it might be that a mystical
|experience is in
||the form of new and deeper states of consciousness, even though the
||senses and outward experience of things may still be physical plane
||earth. A psychical experience is in the form of altered or different
||sense experiences, perhaps of subtler aspects of physical or astral
||earth. With the psychical, we see different things and may go
||to other places, but our basic consciousness is the same. It's
||the same "us" that is going there and seeing those things.
||With the mystical, we may still be here and seeing the same
||things, but we're greater within, with a wider scope of
||understanding, with perhaps entirely new ways of appreciating
||life in our wider consciousness."
||
||Maybe we don't "go" anywhere.
||
||Jerry: "can know the taste of an apple by reading about it. And also,
||they admit to being afraid to eat it"
||
||It reminds me a bit of primitive tribes that live in the midst of a
||beautiful forest/nature, but are afraid to walk in it at
|night because
||of the "gosts" out there. They demonize the world, not
|realizing that
||if there are "gosts",or spiritual beings, out there they
|couldn't harm
||one if you are present minded.
||
||Jerry: "We experience materiality directly, and we experience dreams
||directly, and so how does one know that direct spiritual
|experience is
||any more reliable? " One is good for this, and the other is good for
||other aspects of life, and yes they are both limited on a
|"real" life
||basis it seems. But at least are to be considered as "normal" in our
||current condition. Nevertheless the physical (or the lower Manas seems
||a more accurate thesophical term) seems more familiar to many
||theosophists then spiritual "experiences"(and of course there
||is also discussion of what is "spiritual"), wich some
||demonize, and that is a dead end street. Just as you breath
||air, drink water (any long term breatharians on the list ?),
||and eat at least some, food, applying "experience" exploring
||consciousness and self .helps one to be a more balanced person
||it seems, plus adding a good dose of scepticism and trying to
||check things out helps a lot . In other words to stay with
||your two feet on the ground seems an advisable way to go as
||long one has a body.
||
||Only reading books, of watever creed is indeed a
|limitation, and can
||get you confused or stuck. Creed can also mean scientific creed of
||course, but also in science, there is a lot of good research
|going on
||that can be looked up and can be made to be useful.
||
||We live in a great world/universe, why not wake up to it and
|enjoy it.
