[Marsha] You've asked about mystical experiences in a culture that doesn't accept them. You might better ask about irrational experiences, which are quickly dismissed as drug induced, or brain chemistry.
[Krimel] Saying that an experience is drug induces or a product of brain chemistry does not detract in the least from the experience itself. It may however cause us to be cautious about the cosmic significance we want to attach to such experiences. Beyond that I would say this culture does embrace mystical experiences. From speaking in tongues and snake handling to Bud Lite and Raves; from trances induced by cathode rays to jingles that stick in our heads; roller coasters, novels, paintings, hot and spicy and scratch and sniff; we live in a culture that thrives on the manipulation of experience.
