Re: faith in personal experience
Heinrik
​
Precisely the problem Heinrik. A spiritual experience {whatever THAT means} is never explained as other than a personal event that cannot be shown to exist outside of head of the person making the claim. Due to this constriction it is not possible to determine whether the event is actual {defined as an event that leaves verifiable evidence} or simply the musings of an imagination specific to that individual.
