Episode notes
- The term spiritual experience encompasses self-transcendent, transformative, mystical and spiritual experiences.
- There is a two-part definition for spiritual experience consisting of substantially altered state of consciousness and a seeming perception of an unseen order of some kind.
- The second part of the definition is necessary to distinguish the experience from normal shifts in cognition, affect and perception.
- For many people, the unseen order perceived during a spiritual experience is God.
