This article investigates Sufism and its closeness with the so-called mysticism. Indeed, mysticism is chiefly characterized by mystical experience, referring to, broadly speaking, that of union with the ultimate reality. On this basis, Sufism also evinces mystical experience from which the Sufis elaborate some terminological concepts such as fanā’, wahdat al-wujūd, ittihād, etc. As a...

Mistykę często utożsamia się niemal wyłącznie ze sferą duchową, co sprawia, że traci ona swoje istotne odniesienie do rzeczywistości widzialnej i ludzkiego działania. Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje próbę ukazania etycznych aspektów wynikających z doświadczenia mistycznego — rozumianego jako głębokie przeżywanie obecności Boga — na przykładzie trzech postaci: św. Augustyna z Hippony, św. Faustyny...

Mystical-type experiences can be induced through techniques like hypnosis and meditation. These experiences are common in near-death experiences (NDEs) and have been linked to paranormal beliefs. This study explored auto-induced cognitive trance (AICT) as a method to induce mystical-type experiences and NDE outside of life threatening situations (NDE-like), as well as examining the influence of...

This paper aims to compare the PES with a range of established questionnaires designed to evaluate the psychedelic experience. Data were gathered from three separate...
