This blog did put me in mind of the blog I kept whilst travelling with the Thich Nhat Hanh monks and nuns in Thailand...Perhaps a part of me misses those very early spiritual experiences at 23 or 22, or maybe I was just reminded.
We talked a lot about our spiritual journeys, and I found myself speaking about the previous psychological crisis, being forgiven, and mystical experiences I had when I was younger.
I think it is hard to talk about mystical experiences, I don't think many people can understand unless they had those experiences also. It is easy to find yourself judging it or trying to rationalise or explain it with science.
It is harder to accept you probably won't ever understand exactly what happened and what it was about.
