Into the revelation goes not only the mystic's inner experience itself, but also the suggestions of his upbringing, his surroundings, his wishes and fears, his tendencies and illusions; more, his ego inserts new meanings into it or changes those that belong to it. In short, part of or even the whole revelation is made to serve the ego, or fit its limitations.
