A mystical experience, no matter what else, is a subjective
occurrence in the psyche. However, when it appears in the
psychoanalytic consulting room, its origin, content, and meaning
are unknowable. Yet it is there in the room, and it must be
addressed. It is not a minor illusion but rather one that requires
attention as its occurrence may lead to a profound alteration of
consciousness and, as Carl Jung suggests, a cure for neurosis.
Leslie Stein interviewed twenty-nine mystics in order to understand
the origin, progression, phasing, emotions, and individual
variations of a mystical experience in order to make sense of how
it should be addressed, the appropriate analytic attitude in the
face of a mystery, the way to work with its content, and its
psychological meaning. In doing so, he uncovered that there may be
specific development markers that create a proclivity to be
receptive to such an experience that has clinical significance for
psychoanalysis.
