Abstract

Being a part of this spatiotemporal “phenomena” and wishing the knowledge of the “neuroma” or “Divine Reality,” which is above our commonly known capabilities and tools of acquiring knowledge through a particular way of meditation and absorbing mystical experience, is the main feature of mysticism. So questions arise: What is the nature of this experience? What are its essential characteristics? How can it be experienced? Whether it is religious or not? And so on. These are the questions that will be answered in this research.
