Do you have what might be perceived as strange, weird, extraordinary or indescribable experiences that didn’t seem ‘of this world’?
Do you experience states of mind ‘above and beyond’ what may be
considered a normal (rational or emotional) thinking state?
Have you found that, over time, such experiences have changed or effected how
you live or your perspective on life?
Whether you’ve had two, twenty or even more such experiences (some people might call them religious experiences, mystic experience, spiritual experiences or ‘transcendent experiences’), then you are by no means alone. This research project aims to collect and examine accounts of such experiences to help our understanding of them. I am particularly interested in how multiple experiences over a period of many years might be affecting the way we think. Do transcendent experiences, for example, make us more open and receptive, more able to cope with life? I welcome your contributions.
All
contributions to this project will be treated in the strictest confidence.
I
have now (Oct 2010) completed my initial collection of contributions to this
project. However, if you are interested in this project, please Download
