God is the great spirit friend

[Mystic]

Having mystical experiences does not make you crazy.

That's true. Allama Tabatabai was perfectly sane and had mystical experiences.

Now my experiences were do due to mental illness. It's a hallucination created by the mind.

Now Alama Tabatabai, he didn't have a mental illness but experienced mystical vision.

Well, because my mind spirals out of control, and his doesn't, all of sudden this makes his experience reliable and true?

Or is it more logical to assume his mind was healthy enough to take on hallucinations while mine was not?

The problem with stating it's a true vision, is that it really become indistinguishable from hallucination.

I reasoned through this. Before I applied the opposite logic to prove my experience was true despite losing my mind.

That despite losing control, what I saw was real, because mystics had similar experiences.

This is one of those things that are not easy. It seems so many people experience demonic entities, so many people hear God, so many people see God...but most of us end up in mental hospitals for that while a few mystics are lucky enough to have experienced what they experienced without losing control and their sanity.

So the question is - how do you know?
