Abstract
The mystical phenomenon is understood as a profound and bordeline experience of reality, where the human being reaches a state of consciousness such that it transcends the ordinary concepts with which we understand the world. This experience suggests a notion of reality according to which there is an order underlying physical phenomena (fundamental reality) and distinct from them, where everything is held together, and fragmentation - a fundamental feature of our everyday experience - especially manifested in the difference between mind and matter - is insubstantial. This conception of reality finds a theoretical framework in a certain understanding of the theory of double aspect monism (DAM), which seems to introduce a vision of reality that makes possible the understanding of what the mystical phenomenon reveals. According to this theory, fundamental reality (ontic state) is inaccessible according to our ordinary means of observation. Thus, we can only access the partial or local form in which it manifests itself through the phenomenal world: the mental and the physical (epistemic states).
