Change In The Quality Of The Consiousness Of Mystics. Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

The induced ecstasies of the Dionysian mysteries,
the metaphysical raptures of the Neoplatonists,
the voluntary or involuntary trance of Indian mystics and christian saints -
all these, however widely they may differ in transcendental value,
agree in claiming such value,
in declaring that this change in the quality
of their consciousness
brought with it an expansive
and unforgettable apprehension of the Real.
