There is one mystic moment in everybody’s life where our separate ego-self dissolves into the vast mystery of the unknown. The feeling might be hard to explain but can only be described as ecstatic or something worthwhile.
Not often, but there will be definitely some mystical moments at some point in our life filled with bizarre or even perhaps frightening experiences, but sometimes accompanied by the feeling of absolute happiness, such that our connection to life expands significantly.
The feeling of mystical experiences, it really means allowing yourself to let go of your identity and just… being for a while.
“The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is good as dead.”
Albert Einstein
The definition of mystical experience is hard to explain as it’s not about the normal feeling of happiness we get with temporary pleasure but about the intuition that transformed into an awakening sense.
When the first time I felt it, It was like the vibrational energies entering my deep path of the conscious mind. It influenced my thought and challenged my perceptions. It was something like I was meditating for so long and eventually found a connection with this universe.
Throughout history, this has been referred to as a spiritual experience that only a saint can achieve with fierce meditational practices. But I personally believe that besides living in a physically chaotic world, this phenomenon has been experienced by everyone at one time or another.
Some have said that they experienced it while accompanied by Mother Nature, some felt it while watching the wonders of life, and some may have experienced it in the cosmos.
Those who undergo mystical experiences often describe it as the realization of how sacred and beautiful this life is and how rare it is to even exist to witness the wonders all around us, love, nature, infinite space, divine powers, and literally everything.
I felt somewhat the same when I first felt it. I’ll try to explain how it feels with this story that I found.
Imagine that you are in a completely dark room. You’ve been told that in this room lives a very large snake. As you sit in the room, you can see its silhouette and you feel great fear as you contemplate the potential for it to bite you at any moment. But one day there is a flash of light that illuminates the room and you see that what looked like a snake was, in actuality, a rope. Although the flash of light was momentary, it gave you a glimpse of the truth. All of a sudden your long-held fear vanished entirely, and your experience of the room was never the same ever again.
I believe that those who write poems know exactly the significance of it. Because writing poetry is another way to be qualified for having a mystical experience.
What do you actually realize when you start carving the verse on the piece of paper?
The deeply felt glimpse into the most sacred and ancient home of consciousness through which the expressions come out to be united in the complete verse. The overwhelming magnitude of emotions and intuitive understanding that you embody makes the attempt to even describe the mystical experience feel limited by language.
You begin to see life through an alternative lens as if you’ve been asleep and suddenly reawakened. I’ve read lots of verses & poems over the internet that are too esoteric to understand. But their significance is enormous.
It’s a question for all the poets here – tell us how you get to your first thought when you trying to explain a vast topic with few words? Have you ever had what felt like the mystical experience that I mentioned above?
Interesting Read – 9 signs You’ve had a Mystical Experience
Talking about mystical experiences I believe that it is a much more profound subject that requires a sense of understanding and gratitude. And I do not qualify to make you understand what exactly is that or why is that. I’m not a philosopher or theorist. I just share my experience in a belief that so many of you might resonate with me and my thinking.
And perhaps no one will actually be able to fully explain to you. Because mystical experiences aren’t something that you feel, it’s what you realize is true.
As for me, I realized it just a couple years back when I was sitting alone looking up at the stars. I sat under the stars for hours admiring everything about that night. It was so comforting and beautiful. Meteor showers are just incredible to witness.
The experiences feel more real to me than anything else in this physical world and carry a deep sense of oneness, unconditional love, and ecstasy.
It occurs quickly, takes you by surprise, and typically does not last very long. Eventually, you end up returning to your habitual way of life, but the experience changes something deep inside, and you cannot forget it.
A couple of days later, I bought myself a bigger telescope because space always fascinates me, it keeps me moved all the time, and I can say that I felt a sense of gratitude that I’m here to see the universe with my eyes.

I can say staring at the stars is now one thing I love to do at the end of the day. I don’t know why but now I never feel tired looking up. It’s the source of energy for me that left a deep impact on my thoughts.
Perhaps, this may sound uncanny, I know. However, it is a process worth undertaking. I was able to find it my own way, or even there may be other whole lots of experiences around me that I just can’t see for now. It’s only with time or when we let go of our ego for a moment.
I hope that you will allow the mystical secrets of the universe to transform your mind and open your heart to encompass more love and compassion because that’s what the world needs right now.
It’s not every day, you are asked this question, but have you ever had a mystical experience? If yes, are you able to explain that infinite feeling?

You've articulated it so beautifully. Thanks for the comment ❤️
This is a wonderful essay and echo Goethe's answer when asked why are we here:
"I am here to wonder."
Joanna
Thanks Joanna for your kind words.
I'm sure you've had a lots of mystical experiences.
We all are here to wonder. ❤️
this is such a wonderful article ritish! The feeling of mystical experiences is indescribable..
Rightly said. And, I’m sure that I might not able to express the true essence of it just by writing here. There is so much to it that just can’t be described.
Thanks for reading and comment.
Profound and inspiring post, Ritish. It was awesome to have such an experience.
I'm glad you have that mystical experience and that you can relate to it. It's other worldly, isn't it?
Yes Ritish it sure is other world feelings that we get.
Yess. There is no doubt in it. But I would say its more of a realization than a feeling.
Yes absolutely true 😊
Ritish, an intriguing post. I tried to think of experiences I have had that might be considered "mystical." I have experienced moments of heightened awareness, wonder at the beauty of life or nature, appreciation of a person's acts of unselfishness or heroism. Thank you for a thought-provoking post! Have a wonderful day! <3
Thank you Cheryl. I'm sure those moments you described are truly be mystical experiences that provoked your thoughts so deep. The awakening sense can only be realized when you found a connection with what's around you.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. 🧡
Your post struck home with me. Every word I write is "channeled" ~ I wait for the call, pick up my handheld device, and relax. The poem comes out in about the time it would take to write a fair copy by hand. I've written 3500 of them in this way.
Wow! That's an incredible way to weave a words of wisdom in a thread of poetry.
Also, Hats off, for writing 3500 👏
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
👌
🙌 Have a wonderful week
You too!
🙌🙏🏻
Love this Ritish. I have definitely had these moments.. There are no words and it's never earth shattering just feeling that washes over me like waves and gifts from the sea.💖
I'm glad you had those moments, you can relate more of what I'm saying here. Also, I know your beautiful poetry might have their roots in those mystical experiences of yours.
Thanks for your comment, Cindy. You've explained it so beautifully. 🧡
It’s a pleasure my friend! Thanks so much for your work always giving insight and magic as well!
Have a wonderful week ahead Ritish! 💕
Thanks for your kind words, Cindy ❤️
Have a wonderful week too.
Profound and inspiring post, Ritish.
As you can imagine I love the quote from Leonardo da Vinci, especially today which is the anniversary of his death, more than 500 years ago
Thanjs Luisa.
I love that quote too. It makes so much sense if one can think of it. You're right, its more than 500 years, but still he is the role model of so many. He was ahead of his time. Great man 🙌
I totally agree with you!
😀🙌 Have a wonderful week, Luisa.
Thank you, and the same to you 🌻🌻🌻
❤️🙌🌻
Wonderful article! I too have had many of these mystical experiences and staring at the cosmos far out in the wilderness where you can see deeply and discern even colors of distant galaxies can make my hair stand on end and feel shivers all over. I am so small and insignificant. Recently I suffered a back injury and paralyzed for a while. I had the mystical experience of a lifetime. I want so much to write about it. It is about the Creator of all these things, and I don't think that is allowed here.
It's all mind-boggling, isn't it? The first time I saw distant colours of the deep space through a telescope, it was surreal. I'm sure you'll never forget these mystical experiences of yours (perhaps your love for guitar also, I guess)
And, sorry to hear about your back injury. I know you have a lot to talk about it. We'll be happy to hear. We do respect each others' faiths and beliefs. Though everyone has their own set of values and we also have to keep that in mind here.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dennis. Much apprecaited.
This is a really beautiful post, Ritish. Thanks for sharing your experience. My mystical experiences changed my old world-views & opened me up to an abundance of Universal love and beauty. 🌞
I'm so glad those beautiful mystical experiences have changed our thoughts to encompass more love for the existence.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lisa. Hope you'll continue to get those beautiful mystical experiences of yours. And that they'll lead you to the path of absolute happiness. 🙌
The Christian mystic Teresa of Avila wrote about this experience of the Divine.
That's interesting. Would love to read about her. Thanks!
No doubt we can't explain such experiences the way we have experienced them.
I too had a mystical experience but it affected my life adversely. XD
I would share it here but it's not worthwhile.
And that example of "dark room" was good. 👏🏽
Sorry to hear that, but I wonder how such experiences affected your life unfavorably. But I sincerely hope you'll get to experience that one mystical moment that'll illuminates light in your life.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated.
Amazing post Ritish.
Thanks Athira. Much appreciated.
My pleasure🙂
🙌 Have a great week, Athira.
Amazing article 👏 🙌
Very much appreciated.
I hope you too have experienced this mystical experience.
Yes and in the most amazing way...my elder daughter said "is the baby coming today" while the due date for my younger child was another 10 days
..viola , my little girl was actually born that day...no explanation!!
Wow! That's really amazing 😍
Somethings have just no explanations...
I really hope I'd have a mystic experience.😊
You definitely will. And when you do, you feel like 'may it doesn't end'. ❤️
Thanks for reading & commenting.
I enjoyed your post, Ritish. Writing poetry is often a mystical experience for me, as you described. I start with an idea that often morphs into something beyond my original thoughts. I am frequently surprised by what flows through me. It is mystical and beautiful. ✨💖
That's the beauty about it. It all felt so surreal.
Writing down feeling in poetry is only be possible when you go into self-awakening through the roots of mystical experience.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts, Michele. 💗
Absolutely, yes! 💖 Thank you, Ritish.
