Barbara Ehrenreich Quote
The conventional term is mystical experience, meaning something that by its very nature lies beyond the reach of language, except for some vague verbal hand-wavings about mystery and transcendence. As far as I was concerned - as a rationalist, an atheist, a scientist by training - this was the realm of gods and fairies and of no use to the great human project of trying to retain a foothold on the planet for future generations.
