Mystical insight? Please define it.
I think that must be the instant when your eyes roll back in your head during sex.
Seriously there are obviously altered states to our usual consciousness. Some are even interesting. But I don't think any of them trump all others. Don't forget that you never escape being an electro-chemical being with emotional and feeling states as well as cognitive ones. Your esteem for mystical insight is surely informed by all of these. Also, assuming you are not currently in such a state, all you have now is your remembrance of the event - and that isn't the same thing at all.
