Indeed, Sal. In fact, one of the distinctions made by some traditions between different two basic "types" of spiritual seekers is that one type is more interested in discussing/studying the experiences of others and and the other type is more interested/only interested in having their own experiences. Within that (artificial) breakdown, I find it interesting what type of experiences themselves different seekers seem to be interested in and attracted to. Some seem to be attracted to the more pragmatic types of experience, and other seem to be more attracted to the more woo-woo, very-possibly-fictional types of experience. I guess it's the same distinction you see in mainstream religion; some Christians feel drawn to Christ because of his attitude towards the poor and the downtrodden, and others can appreciate only the flashy stuff, the walking on water and the miracles.
