Mystical Luminosity Experience – An Exploration of Transcendent Light

The international journal for the psychology of religion January 13, 2025 Jonathan Dinsmore, Putu Divariani, I. Kadek et al.

Mystical luminosity experiences (MLE) are a distinct but understudied phenomenon. This work introduces and grounds the construct of MLE by bridging ancient mystical traditions with modern scientific inquiry, particularly within the psychology of religion and consciousness studies. The author argues that these experiences represent a unique category of mystical phenomena worthy of systematic investigation. The text presents a phenomenological foundation for MLE, suggesting it can be meaningfully integrated into academic study.
