    A man was sitting alone, on a bench in a park, singing Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer by himself. By the end, the entire park joined along to sing with him. (🎥)

    4/4` "the mighty David became intoxicated & went out of himself: he saw while in ecstasy, that divine beauty which no mortal can behold, & cried out in those famous words: 'Every man is a liar' [Ps.116:11], thus giving us some hint of that ineffable treasure." (On the Canticle)

    3` ...and, needless to say, that waking system wasn't there during the experience itself. To borrow from the deconstructionists, such linguistic characterization is thus going to be "always already too late." Or, to borrow lyrically from the Christian theologian Gregory of Nyssa:

    2` So, among other things, that rather starkly highlights the point that a verbal characterization of such experience is going to be a contextual matter: The entire context-apparatus of a waking cognitive/language process has to boot up and be "entered" in order to speak of it...

    1` I've mentioned elsewhere "I" have experienced the jhāna sequence unfolding (vividly) during dreamless sleep—"I" in quotes because the waking processes of languaging & conceptualizing were not present. Loosely: the "body" knew how to do that sequence of meditative absorptions.

    5/5 Nasruddin, watching from behind a tree, said to himself, “It's funny what it takes for some people to know happiness.”

    4/ Eventually the scholar found his sack there in the road, and he leapt and danced in joy when he got it back.

    3/ Suddenly, Nasruddin grabbed the scholar’s sack and ran off with it. The scholar chased him, cursing, but could not catch him. Nasruddin knew the area, though, and he hurried up ahead a ways and then placed the sack in the middle of the road.

    2/ Nasruddin found the scholar to be a fairly gloomy fellow who was actually rather pessimistic about ever discovering what happiness might be.

    1/5 Mullah Nasruddin* met a wandering scholar who was seeking the meaning of happiness. The scholar had sold all his belongings, save for the few items he carried in a sack. ____ (*a kind of holy fool in Sufism)

    The Heart Sutra is a beloved, brief Mahayana Buddhist text that celebrates the appreciation that everything we perceive and conceive is a construction, built by our minds and thus, in Buddhist speak, "empty of own-being." Here's a lovely musical rendition:

    8/8# I’m inclined to say the transformations I've felt through such experiences are in the direction of a greater honesty, and a greater joy and wonder from looking at how life how appears for us, together with a furthered interest in looking even more deeply and immediately.

    7# ...But that tradition also records lots of awakening experiences which persons have had that are powerful and beautiful, and wholesome and helpful, but they aren't a final realization.

    6# The Zen tradition sometimes speaks of an experience of “the bottom falling out of the bucket,” in ways that suggest that it's a kind of final realization—a final awakening to the actual nature of our minds-and-hearts....

    5# ...Experiences of that sort that I’ve had have definitely changed the way I see the world, sometimes profoundly, but they've also ended up letting me know I’m not done.

    4# I find it important not to get too puffed up from having had a powerfully unusual experience. I think such experiences are ultimately deeply humbling. And for me, “global transformation” would be too strong a characterization....

    3# And they’ve often entailed some psycho-emotional healing, or at least helped me address some issues. (My hunch, by the way, is that many Westerners have an unnaturally hyper-individualized sense of self, that makes it especially likely for us to need psycho-emotional work.)

    2# I’ve had a good many experiences of the kind that, in a favorite phrase from Wm James, keep us from making a “premature closing of accounts with reality” (*Varieties of Religious Experience*). In other words, those experiences are ones that let me know I don’t know everything.
