Mr. Beasley:
I just wanted to point out that if you ever had a mystical experience, you
would certainly know it. There would be no doubt in your mind. There's
nothing subtle about it. Its not about moonlit scenes or long walks on the
beach. Its the kind of thing that rips your head off. I don't mean to
suggest that other kinds of experiences are unimportant or meaningless. I'm
just saying that you should eat some peyote and then return here to eat your
words. Integrating Mysticism into our world view is the main thrust of the
MOQ. Without any kind of personal mystical experience... well, the MOQ won't
exactly sing for you.
Respectfully,
DMB
I am not a very 'mystical' person in the sense that I have had very few
experiences that are not explicable in terms of the generally accepted
scientific worldview. The most vivid and clear occurred some years ago. On a
moonlit night, my wife and I walked up the road to a little hill, where we
sat, as is our custom, looking out on the surrounding hills and mountains,
lit by moonlight. We were having some sort of rather unhappy and contentious
discussion at the time, so my mind was far from serene....
