The four main characteristics of a mystical experience include ineffability, transiency, passivity, and being of a noetic quality. Regarding ineffability, a mystical experience is often described as “states of feeling” and something “so new, unknown, and beyond comprehension that language cannot fully explain it, and shouldn’t.” The experience is other worldly and outside of the realm of existence we reside, therefore rendering its nature indescribable.

Some say that Sufism is the mystical school of Islam and had its beginnings in the first centuries following the life of the Prophet Mohammad and others say that they are traced back to the pre-Islamic roots of Sufism through the early Christian mystics of Syria and Egypt, to the Essenes

the mystical weapon as merely a box that needs to be checked off, but the mystical weapon of a hero is much more important than that. It serves to continue the plot of the story by jumpstarting many parts along the hero’s journey, many times it is the cause of the hero’s unusual birth. The mystical weapon is what enables a hero to overcome the insurmountable odds and accomplish their trials. A mystical weapon, is not just a tool that the hero harnesses, but their very identity.

In reflecting in the Divine/Mystical Realm, the book of Colossians comes to mind when Paul was speaking to the church of Laodicea. He wanted them to be encouraging to one another showing love and unity within the congregation. Paul spoke very warmly about his belief in Christ. He was a close friend of Our Savior. He understood that his existence was to learn the will of God and become one with HIM. Paul encouraged the church to get to know God and gain a closer relationship with Christ. He spoke

It is bigoted to assume that all experiences must be perceived through the obvious senses. Accordingly, God is a spiritual being and therefore must be explored through a spiritual light. A mystical experience is form of perception. This raises the question of what example perception is. Alston elucidates that perception is termed by presentation, appearance and givenness. However, perception is all-together “independent of conceptualization

As the music begins as the Mystical Fates begin to tell the story (solos, duets). The water opens and reveals the Human Mother and Father carrying their baby. They are obviously scared and nervous as they walk thought the jungle. They are covered up by the scarves as their journey continues. The water now reveals Kerchak and Kala with their newborn ape.

In this dimension, the mystical state is not easily achieved. Furthermore, when it is achieved, it is through ways which are used purposely, such as drugs. In the story “The Willows,” however, the mystical state is achieved without purpose and without a want. This story provides many moments in which the characters experience the mystical state.

For mystical creatures and humans, there are a variety of differences that each other needs to know. For both the development of their relationship in a TV show or film would be demonstrated as the human getting to know how their loved one survives and how they would not get killed by them; they would also demonstrate the idea of how the vampire is so deeply in love that he would never hurt the human.

Church as Institution and Church as Mystical Communion In 1974 Dulles published Models of the Church to address questions concerning ecclesiology-the study of the church. Many people believe that they know the meaning of the church, which is a place to become closer to God. However, there is more than what meets the eye when it comes to the Church, since it is a very complex organization. Dulles' book identifies and describes the different functions the Church possesses which Jesus Christ founded
