rather than

Feedback[edit source]

This topic is so interesting and very different. I have a few suggests though. I think reading your page I still didn't feel 100% sure on what Mystical experience was. A very simple and clear defintion, perhaps with applied examples, may really help. I also would really like to see a section on how different cultures experience this. I think you would find some very interesting traditions that would surprise many readers. Keep up the good work TaylorMal (discusscontribs) 23:43, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an interesting, useful overview of the psychological mysticism. It could be improved by providing more indepth theory and research and more specifically focusing on the relationship with emotion.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Some relevant theory is covered, but there is scope for considering a greater variety of theory (e.g,. neuropsychological[1]).

Research[edit source]

  1. Some relevant research is covered (e.g., in relation psilocybin-inducted experiences), but the chapter could be improved by reviewing a broader range of relevant studies, particularly those related to mystical experiences and emotion.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses could be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. In the general, the chapter is well written and explained.
    2. Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
    3. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, but could be improved by suggesting some practical, take-home messages.
  2. Layout
