William James Mystical Experience

According to the dictionary, mysticism is defined as follows: belief characterized by self-delusion or dreamy confusion of thought. What does James Williams say about mysticism? James focuses more on the individual aspect of mysticism. He believes that there are two characteristic outcomes of mysticism. One being optimism and the other being monism. I also think we need to ask the question, “What exactly is a mystical experience?” A mystical experience is something that a human being experiences in another realm of consciousness.
William James seems to have his own take about mystical experiences. He believes that a person cannot tell anyone else about the experience in full detail so that the other person can understand it. He believes
He suggests that, like our rational states, mystical states encompass both truth and deception, pleasure and pain.
William James believed that mystical experiences were categorized under four categories: passivity, ineffability, noetic quality, and transiency. The first two claim this: ineffability: the subject of a mystical experience cannot find words to describe it. On the other hand, there is the noetic quality: subjects claim that they have experienced revelations, insights into vital truths. The latter two claim this: transiency: they rarely last more than an hour or two at most. Passivity: the subject feels a loss of control, of being in the grasp of a ‘superior power’
James argues that mysticism does not have sufficient warrant for truth claims but is true for those who have had the experience. James ended his study of mysticism and mystical experiences with three conclusions: 1. Mystical states, have the right to be absolutely authoritative over the individuals to whom they come. 2. No authority emanates from them which should make it a duty for those who stand outside of tem to accept their revelations uncritically. 3. They break down the authority of the nonmystical or rationalistic consciousness, based on the understandings and senses
We do not need to “leave this earth” to have a mystical experience. Also, what if the so called “mystical experience” is something or someone else altogether? It could very possibly be the devil trying to show us to do something evil or wrong in the world.
I believe that we do not need mystical experiences to believe a fuller conception of the truth and I also think that we do not need them for a wider world of meanings to become possible. I believe that God does need us to experience these mystical things because he is the God and he can show that he exists in other ways. Believing in these experiences prevents us, the world as a whole, from rejecting the possibility of a world beyond our senses. PUT AS LAST
If a person has to truly have a mystical experience to explain it, then how can we understand them if we haven’t not had one? Some people may believe what the person says, but someone with any common sense would just believe that the person had gone insane. How do we know that the person hasn’t just come to just believe in the Lord? He is here and he is trying to tell us that there is still good in this
