Overview addressed philosophical problems
by Marinus Jan Marijs
On the road to eternity, no one traveled further than the mystics. While their influence on society has been tremendous, what mysticism and spiritual transformation are, is veiled in obscurity. Many descriptions of the mystical experience are cryptic, use parables, analogy and symbols, which have a metaphorical meaning.
The aim of this website is to give detailed phenomenological descriptions of the different mystical experiences, the energies behind them, the different stages and the processes that are involved in it. This website gives a conceptual framework which describes different mystical experiences, how they are related to each other, and how they transform individuals and society. Where possible it has been attempted to support the different theories by evidence. To find supporting evidence, cross cultural data and quantifiable data has been collected. Metaphorical, poetic or symbolic descriptions are replaced by clear technical language which can only be interpreted in one way. Furthermore artistic or symbolical drawings of the subtle energy systems are replaced with technical drawings.
And to find a way to describe the indescribable.
Raphael (1483 – 1520) The School of Athens

"A philosophical treatise can be mostly written in object or process language,
but phenomenological descriptions must be by its very nature first person descriptions.
It is for this reason that self-observations, and personal experiences of the author are included."
Marinus Jan Marijs.
